The crewelwork-and-sgraffito ideas that I was kicking around for the AME haven’t left my head. I’ve got some test bowls coming out of the bisque kiln today, and being glazed next week. I’m checking slip recipes for fir (on my clay body and with my clear glaze), colour, and vitrification. If they work out, I’ll have a fancy-pants new line for the craft fair.
And I’ve also been trying out some ideas on the tiles. The design on the left will be chartreuse when fired, and the one on the right is my old “ohgodI’msunkhelphelphelp” boat, with black crewelwork clouds.

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.)
