Remember Robot? He didn’t stop kicking around in my head. I’ve been putting together some prototypes for a line, to be launched at this year’s Fresh Fish.
Bright colour inside, with something small in the same colour outside, and plain line drawings of Robot. The big box o’ underglazes was ordered for this and another project (those house mugs a few entries back).
I gave up on the glaze pen, and switched to a slip trailer for the black. It’s easier to use, I can change the nibs for thicker or finer lines, and it’s refillable. Yay!
These first three are all made with white stoneware, but I’ll be switching to cream… it’s a much softer clay, which means working with it is a lot easier on the wrists, and the warmer background colour will be nice.

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.)
