The Succulents and Pottery Compulsion

My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Kiln Treasure! Red 25 on a Wheel Thrown Bowl

My Ceramics instructor called me a "Lucky Bastard"!!! The latest batch of pots came out of the glaze firing and they were fantastic!!! His comment alluded to the fact that my pieces got an awesome reduction treatment and they came out about as good as it gets. I'll start off with this bowl - Rod's Bod clay body, wheel thrown with no tools used (I accidentally left my bull's tongue at home), dipped in Red 25.
