Me and Roz figured out how to play backgammon this week. We didn’t get into using the doubling cube, as we weren’t gambling, but we worked out the rest of it.
We talked a bit about what we would make if we were designing a board. I was thinking of clay counters, in very natural colours, totally unglazed. Just burnished. Maybe one white clay and one red clay, or smoke-fired. (Her idea was clay as well, but one side decorated with underglaze zebra print and one side fuchsia with god awful gold decals.)

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.)
