A nice work day

Here are the planters I added lids to from yesterday and did some trailing on.  I may do some deco on the actual pot bodies later when they dry up a bit.  I was pretty pleased with these and my mom likes them so...... I suppose the will do well.

After doing those 4 casseroles I turned a stinkin load for the limited time I had today.  I am not working on Saturday because I am doing things t school so I have all of this tightly covered for assembling on Sunday afternoon.  Those are gonna be some BIG teapots.  Those bigger forms are going to be an attempt at some lidded pitchers.  I was also pretty proud of the simple pitcher form as well.  That one is usually harder to nail down.  My awesome dad is putting up some shelving for me tomorrow which should be awesome.  

I am in an African American art history class this semester and my big final project is going to be on Dave Miles from Edgefield, SC.  He was a potter in the 1850's and 60's or so.  He makes some Incredible pots and I even got a new book to do some research for it.  Wow, I am a complete nerd...... haha.   Check out some on this amazing traditional potter here
