My Students are Awesome, Part a Million and One

Ellen is reaching for the sky!

Patricia is calling these "butter temples" because "dishes" just doesn't seem to cover it!

Chrysanthemum Slip Design

Thanks to my student Cynthia for the video! The first 5 minutes are a plate-throwing video; at about the 5-minute mark, the slip decorating on the wheel begins.

Seated Lid Demo

One of my students has been taking video of some of my demos, with her phone. After I got over my two seconds of stress about not wearing makeup, I thought this was a really cool idea. In this video I am making two kinds of seated lids - the sort that sit on a flat ring on the inner rim of a pot. Another student has just asked me how to make a replacement plate for the spinning tray in her microwave, out of stoneware, so the video begins with me trying to field this question.
