This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading Iโ€™d been aiming for with the glaze on this jug I made at wonderful @thefarnhampottery 
Iโ€™m glossing over the somewhat โ€˜solidโ€™ base of this - over an inch!! My previous attempts had all ended up in the bucket because Iโ€™d been far too cavalier trying to bring up clay from the bottom. So this one was overly cautious. But at least it didnโ€™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 ๐Ÿคฃ 
Now I want to learn moreโ€ฆ. 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 didnโ€™t I use some more colourful glazes? I want to try it all again.
Thatโ€™s the thing about pottery - it draws you in and makes you want to do more.

    About Emillie Ferris

    Painting with thread is my dearest passion and most loved art form. Allowing you to create realistic effects by using one single strand of thread, this technique is often referred to as needle painting, thread painting or silk shading. You can create beautiful colour gradients, magical details and flowing stitch directions that are perfect if you want to embroider animals, people, flora and fauna. I have been stitching every day since I fell in love with embroidery in 2013.

    I think itโ€™s important during this technological era of the world to take the time to create something with your own two hands. It makes you feel connected and rooted to the world. When I’m not embroidering you can find me exploring my local english countryside, reading books about folklore or making memories with friends and family.

    You can find more of my tutorials in my Etsy shop ๐Ÿ™‚
