Pottery workshop, making the Chrysler gargoyle

10.6.17 I went to pottery workshop organised by Fran Bailey, and tried to make a gargoyle of the Chrysler building. The general theme was to do a bird on top of a pedestal. I got it nearly finished as a single piece and then dropped it so I had to start again and decided that it would be better made in three parts, five separately and then clicked together. Let's hope that they still fit together when the clay has shrunk and been fired.

A walk in the woods on 4 June

Usually, Sally stays in bed, but she made a big effort to get up today and I made an equally big effort to push her up the hill to the woods above the house.
