Three of the little teapots are bisqued. One isn’t, because the lid had an unfortunate incident with a kiln shelf and is no longer in usable shape. I’ll try and make another one tonight, but it’s tricky business… clay shrinks when it dries, and not always predictably, so I’ll be guesstimating the size. I suppose it’ll be safer to aim too big and trim it down, than start off too small and not be able to change anything…

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.)
