Dakota Dispatch #4: Pottery, before

Last week, I took a class with my mom entitled, "Pottery for the Garden." Accordingly, I made two wall pots and a birdbath bowl. I also made two plates that really aren't garden-appropriate. Tonight, we glazed and I'm now feeling very dusty. Anyway, the photos below are pre-firing. The pots come out of the kiln Saturday morning, so I'll post pictures then to demonstrate the magic powers of heat.

The wall pots, this glaze is named "Blue Earth:"



The birdbath bowl should end up with a cream base (and possibly a leaf pattern on the bottom that shows through) and mint green leaves:



And, the plates. The one with the admittedly cheesy NYU theme is supposed to end up blue and white while the geometric patterned one is supposed to be green, blue and white. However, both the blue and green glazes used are a bit temperamental, so they might end up with a fair amount of brown mixed in.
