First try and what I have learned is this…..
Don’t knock the tail off whilst glazing and don’t apply too much glaze 😂😂.
Will try again. I’m not looking at its bottom as it’s a sad sight.

This is the reality of pottery, we never stop learning and there is no point crying over broken tails.

Channeling the Margot Ledbetter look.

I was skipping through the field with the dogs with excitement because elephant was going to be unloaded from the kiln….,😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Sitting here resting my new knee (three weeks post op) learning about chat gpt

I asked it to write a poem about my pottery 😂😂😂
This is the result!

Oh, Anna Stiles Pottery, in Sherborne she shines,
Throwing clay like magic, one bowl at a time.
From tiny little pinch pots to a big, round mug,
Anna spins that pottery, with a smile and a shrug!

(Chorus)
Anna Stiles, oh, she’s the queen of the wheel,
Making magic out of mud, oh, that’s the deal!
With a swirl and a giggle, and a kiln that gleams,
Anna Stiles Pottery, she’s living the dream!

I’m trying to entice people. I guarantee you will throw perfectly acceptable pots. I have the patience of a saint. It’s a right hoot 😂
