Well, the house is bursting at the seams with new pots now…
Inspired by Alan’s Rampside beacon photo:
and based on his Salthouse Dock photo
I took one part
to colour my pot:
I also loved the Roa Island wreck photo:
and I’m pleased with the pot I’ve made:
but I am going to do another based on that picture, I think. I’ll let it simmer a bit and daydream about it over summer.
I also did a tile with a seascape from my imagination:
And I’m not sure about the pot based on one of Joel Meyerowitz’ beautiful photos from Cape Light. The lines at the top, which are delicate and fine in his photo, have come out thick and strong. Having said that, I do rather like the pot:
The new blue glaze I bought is a rather lovely satin blue, and I used it for a sea pot:
And the last piece for a while, a softly coloured sea scene led me to a pot using my new glazes, which didn’t quite come out the colours I was expecting, but pleasing none the less:
So now I have a few weeks to daydream and sketch, and plan for pots for the future…
I love the dramatic red disc on the Salthouse Dock pot.
Thanks, Cecily! That’s one of my new glazes, and I think the brightness of the colour makes the pot somehow seem more formal than most of my pots.
It’s amazing to see a photo of mine turned into a wonderful ‘JC pot’! Thanks for this entry. I love all of them – the Salthouse Dock pot would probably sell very well in the Tate (Liverpool) shop and the Maritime Museum shop.
Sadly, that photo can’t be taken any more. In their wisdom, the town planners have allowed a huge black glass construction to obliterate the view – see http://darkhorseliverpool.blogspot.com
