Saturday Creative Juices

Today has been a creative day.  I am testing new triangle plate design for the Restaurant -- Main Street Bistro -- in League City, Texas.  Hopefully they will be the size that Robert and Michael want.  With left over slab pieces I made 7 more hanging Scripture plaques.  The rest of the day was spent throwing on the wheel.  Results -- 7 small to medium bowls -- two individual salad sized bowls (one of these was a flawed but functional bowl).  I am not a perfectionist -- so I loved the flawed -- and very seldom throw away any created pieces.    Pictures to be added later. 

WELCOME -- ORDER FORM

Welcome to Pottery from the Shed.  Please browse my photos.  I am currently working to develop a line of pottery.  The line will include -- Trays, small bowls, and plates.  Trays and plates will be hand-built and the bowls will be thrown. 

I will also post pictures of pottery items that are bisques and can then be glazed with a glaze of your requested color. 

Other items are available on request.
