These are the first pots I've thrown since the holidays. Ideas for mugs, goblets, and saucers are finally beginning. I had a problem with the rims of the stems warping on past goblets I've made. I tried throwing them with a solid bottom that van Gilder suggests. Can't wait to assemble them.judith blakeburn-potterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15095624208963168991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050570320444403854.post-29976776143869385802011-01-05T14:08:00.000-08:002011-01-05T14:08:25.771-08:00medallion and beads<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am a potter from West TN who produces in stoneware fired in an electric kiln to cone 6. I am a public school art teacher approaching retirement and plan on working more in my basement studio. Bloggers have given me so much inspiration. I now want to share my thanks and thoughts.judith blakeburn-potterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15095624208963168991noreply@blogger.com3
