This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading I’d been aiming for with the glaze on this jug I made at wonderful @thefarnhampottery 
I’m glossing over the somewhat ‘solid’ base of this - over an inch!! My previous attempts had all ended up in the bucket because I’d been far too cavalier trying to bring up clay from the bottom. So this one was overly cautious. But at least it didn’t topple like the others.
Learning to throw at the wheel was so challenging and physically demanding but also such a mental reset. Thanks to our teacher Serenity who more than lived up to her name - particularly when dealing with my many cries for help 🤣 
Now I want to learn more…. Why did the wax resist on the jug on image 2 go so brown? Why do I always end up making cylinders or jugs even when I set out to make a wide dish? And why didn’t I use some more colourful glazes? I want to try it all again.
That’s the thing about pottery - it draws you in and makes you want to do more.

Flower crafts ideas & DIY tutorials

There’s a lot of love out there for recent blog posts sharing Olga Prinku’s dried flower botanical hoop art embroideries. Pinterest even shared an image from the post on their own social media.
