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!!!

My First Jamaica Clay Body Pieces
All trimmed up and ready for bisque firing. I have enjoyed working with Jamaica clay - it feels smoother than the Rod's Bod and Soldate 60 that I have been using. Thinking about the next steps, I believe I want to use minimal glaze on these pieces, to highlight the clay body. I know I'll have to glaze the interior of the two bowls for food safety, but in all cases, I will minimize what goes on the exterior.
And these are the latest batch of pinched pots. I'll take Noe and Marlon in to the ceramics studio today so we can glaze these pieces (they each have one in this batch with the balance being my pots).
