I joined a co-working hour the other day hosted by the author Clover Stroud, instead of writing (though i did write a bit too) I got on with thsi pot, which suddently decided it wanted to have Wayland’s Smithy on it. So here’s the beginning of that.

I often like to make pots that look like they have been at the bottom of the sea for a few decades/centuries (it's the archaeologist in me I think). The technique of using sodium silicate to allow the clay surface to be cracked is horribly addictive! Here's test pot from a few weeks ago using crank terracotta & porcelain.

This is the ‘back’ of the Childrey Warren pot, my customer asked for a little Uffington Horse on the piece, as well as the Warren.
