New glazed work was very well received and now that I make my glazes from scratch it has become something I enjoy - so lots more experimentation to come! A couple of people mentioned trying matte glazes... watch this space...
...And quite a few people asked about handles. I have always avoided them, mostly because I never use them (generally holding a cup or mug by its sides) and I like the ambiguity of a simple vessel - it can be whatever you want it to be. As soon as there is a handle, a use is suggested. However, I want to make pots that are useful and people love using so testing out handles is going to be my next step. Its going to be challenging as I have a few years practice at making vessels but none at making handles... creating a handle that is at the same skill level as the vessel might prove tricky... First step is lots of research.
