Pottery- Becoming a Part of the Guild!


If you hate Mondays you should take a pottery class! It will make you excited fore Monday night and its a great start to your week. Aimee and I took a class through the Saskatoon Potters Guild


Leather Hard- Before Firing!
After Glazing!
 The first thing you will learn to do is center your pottery on the wheel. Sounds easy enough, but it can be quite difficult especially if your a perfectionist! The second thing you will learn to do it throw a cylinder. Once you master cylinders you can learn to make handles to make a mug. After cylindars you learn to make bowls, which have a round bottom. From this you and further master creamers and sugar bowls. If its a flop it turns out to be a spoon rest, great idea!


 
Aimee's Creations :)
Sarah: What are you going to make today?
Aimee: Well I'm going to try for a bowl, but we will see how it turns out..
(Everything doesn't always turn out exactly how you planned it, which is all part of the fun!)
