Porcelain, thrown and altered. I’m thinking a clear glaze, and “Cupped” or “hands of the Maker” for a title. I like the pun potential of “Cupped”, but they’re going to be more the size of small bowls, so maybe the other would be a better option.
I’d also like to try out a pair of eyeglasses (again, clear glaze over thrown and altered porcelain), if I can get the eyelashes to work. They’ll be round drinking glasses, but when you look inside there’ll be an inverted eyeball staring back out. Geddit? Eh? Eh?
We’ll see how it goes.

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.)
