well I havent uploaded my pottery for ages, mainly because I spent last term at collage trying to make coiled mugs, but they seem to turn out the size of tea cups when fired and as there is no way I can throw mugs yet, I have to make do with very small cups of tea here is my latest project. its a tree trunk tea light and candle stand/holder. its coiled with the deatails added anferwards. its drying out and will have to be fired when I go back to collage at the end of september. I hope it doenst break, get dropped or blow up in the kiln as it has taken months to do. You can only add about coils at a time, so it took weeks just to make the trunk. ![]() ![]() ![]() magz

That looks lovely Magz, will it be that colour when fired or are you going to put a coloured glaze on it (not sure of pottery terms) bet it will look really nice when finished and all lit up. Willowx |

its a master piece, I just hope it dosnt get damaged in the school, Id be tempted to go to Clayman ( local pottery suppliers) and ask how much they charge for a fireing....)even if you take it to college buscuit fired it would stand more of a chance! bravo sis!
