Tried something a little different today. So much slip and score. I made a template to shape the side pieces and winged it the rest of the way. Much bigger than the inspiration. It will shrink a little.

Maybe this will hold my soldering iron in the future?

I rather like the way the Ashmolean had this beaker displayed in 2011, it’s against a replica of a piece of Predynastic Egyptian art (from Hierakonpolis Tomb 100 I think) and lined up with gazelles of some sort surrounding the beaker with its central Barbary sheep.

The Barbary sheep is a mammal native to North Africa which likes arid mountainous conditions, so it is a creature of the desert in Egypt. It’s surrounded by dogs, with upturned curly tails, little short ears and knotted collars where someone could attach a lead. 🧵 1/3

Ya me gusta un poco más, igual siento que puedo hacer otra que no tenga los errores que esta. Igual me doy una palmadita en la espalda porque la cerámica me ha dado felicidad y he aprendido un montón de cosas 🥲

Esto sin los aracaris a quienes considero amigos personales 😅, no habría sido posible

Another of the newly decorated junction boxes in the Anderston area of Glasgow, this time at the cornwr between Argyle Streets and St Vincent Street. It's highlighting the history of the local Delftfield Pottery, which was established by the tobacco merchants Laurence and Robert Dinwiddle on the Broomielaw in 1748, primarily to create Delftware.
