New pots!!!

Fired my kiln last weekend and these are some of the pots that came out. I'm still testing new coloured slips trying to get a good deep green and I think I would like a purple, nearly there hopefully get some more good tests out of the next firing. New pots include: jugs, tea cups, t-light holders, and bowls.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! The Penwortham Christmas market was lovely, thank you to everyone who came, glad the weather stayed nice for it! Had a couple of commissions over Christmas including: personalised hanging decorations, salt and pepper shakers, peach halves and oil and vinegar bottles (photos below). Back into production now so there will be more photos to follow. If you are not already on my mailing list and would like to be informed of updates please email me: pilkington.anne@hotmail.co.uk

Penwortham Christmas Market!

Penwortham Christmas Market
is on this week Wednesday 14th December 2011!

The market will be on Liverpool Road, Penwortham, open 6pm till 9pm. Stalls will be set out on the pavements both sides of the road from The Fleece Pub up to Royal Bank of Scotland. I will have a stand set up outside Johnson Cleaners.

There will be a visit from Penwortham Primary School Choir and Lostock Hall Memorial Band, a fairground at The Fleece and lots of places to eat.

Hope you can make it, would be lovely to see some familiar faces.

Nothern Potters AGM 2011

I have just got round to looking through the photos from Northern Potters AGM at York Art Gallery. There was a great demonstration by Roger Lewis who hand builds Ceramics, he has found a way of trapping air inside slabs of clay to give them a cushioned effect and incorporating this technique with the use of texture making the pieces very tactile.
