Sample

This is a piece that I made at Blacksmith Doris Months back.

The idea was to practice spirals while making a vessel at the same time.

The fuzzy ball on the end was where I was distracted by someone and forgot that it was in the fire. I think that it adds to the character of the piece. I haven't done anything with this and that is the point. It is a useless object but a curiosity.

Well, it is time for another Doris, and that time is on Saturday 4th December.

Don has promised that he will come this time and has given me a drawing to show what he will teach.

For myself I need to learn how to make gum nuts as I will be making a few. I also want to know how to make the coil well. I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER LEAF! He! He! But some of you will.

Same deal applies as always:

* It starts at 10 ends at 4 (so come at any time between).

* Bring hammer if you have one.

* Bring protective clothing covering legs and arms -cotton, silk or wool - good sturdy boots, goggles, earmuffs, leather or cotton pinny if you have.

* Lunch
