Made these little creamers over the last two days whilst bigger pots dry off prior to bis firing this coming week. I am thinking they will fit nicely in the gaps in the kiln. They were made from slab off cuts from previous work so feel I have made good use from my efforts of rolling clay and these benefitted from being worked from clay well set up. #creamers #smallpots #smallmilkjugs #milkjugs #blackearthenware #contemporarytableware #slabtableware #slabcontemporayceramics #smallpresents #smallgifts 
I’m enjoying working on my small square serving dishes, finding it pleasing going through the various stages especially working the rounded corners and bottom edges. Now onto applying the layers of slip. My air source heat pump really helps with the drying process as it fans warm air over the pots and keeps me cosy warm at the same time. It has been interesting to see how this heating system has worked out over this cold winter, more efficient and effective than I imagined. #slipware #squareservingdishes #blackearthenware #comtemporarytableware #airsourceheatpump #heatingworkshops #domesticware #workingfromhome 
I have commandeered this apprentice’s made surface gauge from @ecominimalnick. Just the job for marking a level round pot tops when tricky by eye. It is a joy to use too. #markingtool #slabpots #usefultools #metalworktool #engineeringtool #lateralthinking #favouritetools 
Small butter dishes underway, today to make the flower handles for the tops. I enjoy the repetition of making a batch of these, working in stages through them all. My black clay looks like yummy chocolate when leather hard! #butterdishes #blackearthenware #handmadetableware #earthenwareforthetable #slabbuiltpots #contemporarycraft #potstouse
