The backstory
SINCE THIS LOCKDOWN is lasting longer than originally anticipated . . .
I have decided to move from doing vases only. From what I have learned around how pottery has helped my PTSD, my plans to help manage the stress and anxiety on lockdown are simple: I will continuing to make a new item for each day.
I aim to continue updating this post each day with my latest lockdown thing I made! (I am looking for ideas! Submit what you think I should make here!)
Phew!
You can also see finished vases (ie not raw clay) here

Good post 😊🌹
Thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it! 🙏
I love the shape of the bowl. It’s got a satisfying look to it.
Thanks Priscilla, its been trimmed a bit now and its looking pretty tight! Even more satisfaction to be had 😀 Hope you are keeping well! 🙏
I think they’re beautiful! Why not paint and design those vases too? 😊
Oh yes that is to come. First they must dry then be bisque fired then glazed and raku fired. You can see more how thats done here if you like 🙂 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ndtOymbS-eA&feature=emb_title
