Someone broke a tentacle on my casserole.
Not one of the awkward ones, luckily; just one attached to the octoknob. I prised off the old one with a butter knife and made a new knob.
Handy tip: when clay is too dry for you to attach anything to it, and the piece you want to attach will be held in place by gravity, you can just bisque your pieces separately, apply glaze, and put one piece on top of the other during the glaze firing. The glaze will melt and resolidify around the attached piece, holding it in place.

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.)
