A Problem Solved

  I came up with my latest clay project in order to help me with a little problem that I had, and that I think might sound familiar to some of you as well. If you’re anything like me, you make yourself a cup of coffee or tea, only to let something distract you, and

A Dragon Is Born

  Those of you following me on Instagram might already have seen it, but I thought I would share it with you here on my blog as well: My little baby dragon, freshly hatched from its egg!!     I formed it with white clay and then applied a glaze that gives it this amazing metallic

The Changing Seasons – March 2019

  It´s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch! But before we begin, let me just share a pic of my mum with the perm I made for her back in January and that I forgot to post in my February Changing Seasons post for those of you

  Sometimes I sit in front of a lump of clay and don´t know what to do with it. Then I begin to knead and pull at it without any intention whatsoever. The last time I was doing that someone in my pottery course suddenly exclaimed: “Ha! That looks exactly like horse kicking its legs
