My bit of heaven

[morgaina]

I had the greatest, finest day in the studio today.
It was amphorae throwing time and they went up and formed shapes by, what seemed like, their own accord. It was difficult to hold myself back and not make them larger than the commission asked for.
They have pointy bases, so I am making them in two parts. Put the slightly dried lower part in a chuck and then put the two sections together and re-throw where they meet.
Those Romans knew pottery!

I also painted the first coats of a door and the ceiling of the guest room, which was not a wise activity considering the water complications of my pump problems. Who cares? :-p

Amphora!! Pics please? So is it the upstairs room you're painting? I'll miss the glow in the dark stars...

Will do as soon as the handles are pulled. I have to dry them upside down of course, so this will take some thought as to how to set them up.
I kept some of the stars. dancing_guru is going to help me with stuff later in the week. She may insist on re-attaching the stars.
