been working on a series of a minimum of 50 tea bowls in 8 weeks.
yikes! i decided i needed to challenge myself on the potter's wheel since i find throwing very difficult and here was my chance to improve a skill. it's also a good lesson for me in personal discipline as this sort of thing really takes a solid commitment to get on the wheel every day i can.
one of the series within the series is a collection of real terra cotta cups/bowls, (another challenge for me...i am spoiled with throwing creamy dreamy porcelain. real terra cotta is full of random large and small particles that try to bite me).
i'm toying with ideas on how to present them when all is critiqued and done at the end of july.
i was thinking for the terra cotta to offer sets of 1 and 2 with root based tea blends to celebrate all things earthy and dark. of course i will keep prices in the affordable range.
i'd like to know what you think. i know it's difficult to imagine without actually seeing the pieces and i'll post some pictures as soon as things are dry enough to actually handle ;)
but the point is i'd like to give you an opportunity to tell me what you'd like to see in the store.
any input would be appreciated.
thanks forever!
