These are awesome! Do you throw and fire at home or in a pottery workshop? I've did a few sessions in a workshop when I lived in London but don't have one conveniently nearby anymore :(

the dream is a home studio but for now i have a membership to a 24/7 access studio. they have some glazes and do the firing. ive recently started making my own glazes (most of those are store bought except the brown on Delores). took classes for about 6 months before we moved.

i take occasional workshops (recently beast sculpture & soda firing) and going back to class for some intermediate/advanced instruction next month. most things can be learned from YouTube once you get the basics down.

you can totally hand build at home! i do sculpture at home. YouTube has some “how to clean up” videos. look around for a studio that fires outside work.

Idiot because I ruined the back, so you only get the front



My aunt asked to buy it, told her someone has already spoken for it and then asked for a family discount when I said I can make another and quoted her a price.
