A few pieces that came out of the latest kiln load:
There’s more blue than usual in the glaze, and some pieces have almost-pinholes. I think they were slightly underfired. Most of them are fine to sell, though, so that’s okay.
There’s also the jar I made, the day the helicopter went down.
Porcelain, clear glaze on the outside, and the studio’s cranberry on the inside. I considered glazing the whole thing clear, but I wanted something bright and visceral hidden inside. It would have been too funerary otherwise, I think.

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
