1. I try a new style of foot for one of my bowls and it turns out brilliantly. I also rework another of the bowls from the other day: getting rid of its messy experimental rim and altering it cleanly instead.
1b. The metal scraper fa-doiiinks in pleasant way when I waft it around, so I waft it around some more.
1c. The handle slips and the lid flips open: liquid glaze goes everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I spend the next half hour cleaning it up but, as I say to people passing, at least it’s not paint. I do like how clay, decorative slips and glazes are surprisingly easy to clean up.
2. Crumpets with jam is just the perfect snack at tea time.
3. An experiment: a purple-grey yarn shot through with streaks of mustard, cerise and aubergine. Even if this yarn doesn’t work out, I’ll use those colours again.
