Back at it!

I’m officially back in the pottery studio for the winter months. I feels so good to be back, I’ve missed my time in here quite a bit. I didn’t really realize it until last night. I just love to sit in there and work away in silence, my thoughts mostly on the task at hand and getting lost in my work. I unpacked my supplies and eyed up my largest bowl thrown to date, as it sat on the shelf half finished. I gathered my thoughts and tried to remember my plans for the design. I’m using only black and white velvet underglazes and a sgrafitto technique to decorate this bowl. It’s looking borderline horror vacui (Latin for fear of empty space) at the moment, but I’m digging it. We’ll see where it goes…
