Today, I stopped by the Sunin Clay Studio to pick up the Wacky Bird Dish that I made in class. It was a surprise to find it on the display window. The process for making this silly bird was a bit tricky. Luckily, Lynne, the instructor, was very patient. She offered great tips on how to safeguard the pieces from falling off. I was concerned about the tail and head being too heavy for the legs. The head was formed by making a pinch pot, so it is not solid. A tricky step was trying to get the beak and feet to balance…but it worked out.

Wacky Bird will keep me company as it sits on my work table. It is the perfect dish for holding my quilting clips

Lynn, my pottery instructor, was nice enough to add an extra day to my classes. I ran out of time on my last of four classes, and was not able to paint the crazy bird bowl. I painted and glazed it today, and I cannot wait to see it when it’s done.
I picked up my other clay creations. They are silly pieces, but they were so much fun to make. I realize that pottery is not my thing, so I will not be signing up for another class. I did enjoy the process. I am very happy that I found such a great clay studio. The owners, the instructors, and the potters at the Sunin Clay Studio are super friendly and helpful.

This is Fat Cat…inspired by daughter-in-law’s cat, Richard Parker.

This is Wacky Wabbitt.

And this is Daisy.
Now, I need to get back to fixing the polka-dot border on the floral pet quilt. No more procrastination.
I have already made most of the squares that I will be piecing on the border.
