Cephalopots Mark 1 are all fired up, and deployed in the Craft Council Shop.

I’m fairly happy with them, but will tweak the handle in the next run. I’m not entirely happy with the way the suckers rest against my fingers when I pick them up. (Two people agree with me that it’s awkward, two people say it isn’t. The two groups have entirely different mug-holding techniques; I think that’s the difference, more than any faults/virtues of the handles themselves.)
The bowl turned out perfect, though, so that’s getting scaled up to serving bowl and platter size as soon as I get my hands on another bag of reclaim. (Which we’re out of *again*. That shipment better come in soon.)

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.)
