morgaina | Spring

I love Spring, I love Spring, I love Spring. Makes me think that perhaps life is worth it after all. I have many pottery venues in the next two months, but I am not panicking to get things done because I have been working steadily throughout the winter. Although at the time I worked just to keep myself sane rather than thoughts of the future.

The week after Empty Bowls the Potter’s Guild is having a joint gallery show with the Watercolor Guild. I have requested wall space for that show. I have made several Green-man style clay heads for wall hanging and some large wall-hanging platters. The platters’ motif are Sythian, which I began to look into when

tasia and Skeggi sat the Thrones. I don’t pretend that these things I am making are authentic, but Sythian design is so strong and unusual they could take a lifetime to explore. The Greenmen are an ongoing series. I don't make very many because they take so long because of pinching out or impressing all the little leaves around their heads. I make a new one every spring.
