What a learning process! I definitely need to work on those uniform shapes and making sure I’ve had a good night’s sleep before planning a day of it. Next steps will be getting those bats figured out, trying bowls again, and attempting some plates. Of course, before that, I’ll be …
SO! I decided to try …. Both hehe. Originally I decided to do the tankard with the gritty speckled brown, but I also wanted to do a set of four and didn’t think my hands could handle that … They’re barely recovered from last time.So I ended up using the …
