    Couldn't there be a problem with the weight if you've making ceramic water features of a reasonable size as compared to resin or fibre glass? I certainly like the idea though.

    I think they're great, but again I don't see why it has to be this week?

    It is I think. Next week I am away. The week after is the last week without classes till September. Things are going to get VERY busy over the following 10 weeks with gift shop orders, parties and summer holiday kids club in top of the usual stuff. I have decided that the house cleaning can wait.

    They are heavier it's true but I don't intend to make them very big and they are no heavier than the rock features you can buy

    I'm glad you've given in a bit and aren't going to push the cleaning stuff today too.

    Water feature thrown. You know when I was at college I told my tutor I was not interested in making bowls and stuff on the wheel of I knew then what I know now it would have been quite different.

    That's brilliant making stuff without a wheel and throwing with one are two different skill sets and increase your versatility. Do you do any ceramics using moulds? I think they're more for mass production and I think you probably like the uniqueness of your items better.

    I have made a mould which I use to make highland cow wall plaques. But mostly I make unique stuff.
    Well today I have spent two hours in the studio, given Ember her bi annual bath, and worked through a bag and a half of compost putting up bedding plants. Arty thinks I should do some vacuuming now!

    Did you enjoy your time in the studio?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
