What a great save on the bread holder!! They are soo beautiful!! That blob on the shelf is soo odd. It looks like low fire clay to me. I’m not sure what it was before. I have heard of people recently getting the wrong clay and getting low fire instead of stoneware. I’m so sorry! But honestly thank you so much for showing the bad along with the good. We all go through this but so many people don’t show it!! My husband, just this morning, broke the biggest bowl I’ve ever made! It was at least in the greenware stage!! I think it’s a great idea to show what happens when things that don’t turn out! People are so used to seeing the beautiful things. Please keep on claying around!! Don’t let this get you down.
Please don’t give up on pottery! I love your work 🤩. As a fellow potter, I totally understand the frustration. You are truly an artist and we would lose out if you gave it up.
Oh, Joeleen...I have a divine collection of lids all with lovely hand-built flowers, leaves and tendrils that will forever be beautiful paperweights! Been there and continue to be there.... But like yourself, I've learned to smile and just go on to the next piece. Keep up the beautiful work. I'll check in for your next opening.
So sorry for disappointing pieces. Being a potter is not for sissies. I had surgery. While recovering I thought I would glaze alot. Well don’t do that on pain meds. Lost 14berry bowls. Due to operator error. Mugs and bowls had glazing problems apparently I couldn’t keep track of my layers. After a while I licked my wounds and decided I’m lucky enough to have the knowledge to fix them. Gas kiln 12 hours babysitting the kiln was maddening

Thank you for showing your imperfect pieces. I believe we learn even more from challenges and it makes successes sweeter.
Your ceramics are lovley thanks for sharing. Perhaps you could make your broken bowl into a bird bath.

After you get done with it at the gallery, you can break it up and either make jewelry out of it or make mosaics with it.
Love, love, love your butter dishes!
Brasil👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍♥️
Nice to see you again. Sorry about that big bowl, it was beautiful.
