One family (two siblings and their mom) tried the wheel. Just as they were finishing up, another group (two friends) came in, also for the wheel.
I think this was the least hectic class I’ve taught since… oh, whenever the first one was, months back. Wow.
After class, I hung around the studio to glaze a few pate dishes and teacups, and to throw a few things. More pate dishes, since they seem to be going faster than the mugs, and I’d like to re-stock the shop soon. Also, two shaving bowls, commissioned for a guy and his brother. He wanted them straight up and down on the inside, so the soap didn’t move around too much, but curved on the outside, so they’re easy to hold in wet soapy hands.

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.)
