a petite pachyderm gem! and an old dog learns new tricks




(pottery by Gary Rith)
I am taking a non-credit pottery class at Cornell. The instructor is very skilled and does things differently from me. I have been working with clay 25 years and I am learning new things. This week she showed how she would throw a large ring and use it to make a teapot handle. Mmmmm, nice!
Mugs for Greg and Suzette here on the bottom, needing their glaze.

I second Deborah's comment! It's a very handsome teapot!
