A blue facetted teapot that came out of my kiln at the end of last month. I was happy with the way it turned out, and plan to make some more teapots as a follow-up to this design.

I've been getting some good test glaze results recently from my cone six firings. New surfaces and colours of test glazes can often suggest new forms to try. It's interesting how the creative process works sometimes with a back and forth development of ideas.

Spring is well underway here now, with lots of sightings everyday of new growth, and bird arrivals. With the current situation of self-isolation, my wife and I are taking long walks along our rural roads, and creating at home. All the best to everyone for happy, healthy days!

I have frequent updates about my work on Instagram.

I had a conversation last year with Paul Blais for his podcast The Potters Cast. We talked about my life as a potter, and the joy of new challenges. Here is a link to the podcast interview.

See you next month! Keep well!
