A set of nesting bowls - newly available on my web

A set of nesting bowls - newly available on my website. These are really useful pots to have at hand in the kitchen but look equally elegant on a shelf or display.

The project that I alluded to yesterday is this … 40 narrow jugs, celebrating 40 years of @hollowaysofludlow

I have been commissioned to make these jugs for their 40th year. This is them, freshly thrown and their ‘pours’ pulled. They are now sat drying in my studio until they can be bisque fired and subsequently glazed (this weather really needs to warm up!).

It is always a pleasure when you get commissioned to work in the style that you already work in. These jugs will be glazed similarly to the rest of my current work but, with a slight twist!

I can’t wait to show you when they are all finished and ready to go!

A teapot from a recent firing. I obviously got a bit excited with these brush strokes and they made their way up onto the lid. Usually, I would try to keep the lid crisp and clean but, I actually quite enjoy lining up the brush strokes on the body to the lid, like a puzzle!

To get such a well fitted lid I, once again, turned to @floriangadsby , who demonstrated how to use lapping paste to grind back any inconsistencies in the fit of a lid. It works like a dream!

I have a lot of trimming and attaching of handles

I have a lot of trimming and attaching of handles to do this week.

Pulling and attaching handles is a process I really relish, even if it takes a good few to get back into the swing of it sometimes. From the pulling of the initial blanks, to trying to replicate the same handle shape for 10s of mugs at a time, it is always a pleasurable challenge (I will probably eat my words and screw it up this week!).

I will make sure to show you a few of the projects I have on the go this week, too – one of which I am very excited to share with you!
