photo showing some small ceramic objet d'art: a gold box with a lid, a head with dark hair and a green face, a strangely colored flower-like thing, an orange big-cat mask with blue eyes, a small blue and gold pot/vase, and a gold-haired head with blue eye mask, a large white nose, and red lips

They clay class my neighbor Zeke held is over. While I surprised myself at what I was able to create, it looks as though twoprops won’t be quitting his day job any time soon. I do rather like the way the green man came out, with his textured face and gold highlighted black hair.

I like how the textured sides of the box turned out thanks to treatment with a silver nitrate solution prior to firing. The other pieces were… interesting… at best. I had a lot of fun, particularly watching my friends’ designs materialize, and they and the other potters of the world certainly won’t have to worry about a serious new competitor coming on the scene. But I’m really happy to have done it.
