INSPIRING CREATIVITY
LIDDED STORAGE JAR • Everyone needs storage jars in their kitchen, but often they are tucked away in cupboards out of sight. Make this lovely jar to contain anything from rice or pasta to biscuits and proudly put it out on display
EGGSTRAORDINARY OBJECTS! COLOURFUL EGGS • Make these jolly little eggs as an alternative to the chocolate variety for children’s egg hunts at Easter; they will love the bright colours and have something special to collect and keep. If you prefer, you could use them as interior design accents too, alter the decoration to suit your surroundings and display them in a bowl

CYLINDER VASE • In this project, we combine a simple making technique with intricate slip decoration that includes several methods of application. If you want to challenge your skills, include all the decorating methods suggested or pick one or two if you aren’t confident enough to try all of them
LINDA BLOOMFIELD NO FRIT AFTER BREXIT
OPEN KITCHEN BOWL • You can make thrown bowls in any number of shapes, and it can be great fun developing them in different proportions for culinary use. This bowl has been made and decorated to hold eggs, but it would look equally good serving food at the table
THROW DOWN ROUND-UP
LEAPING HARE SCULPTURE • Spring is the time when we see hares leaping and chasing one another in the fields. It’s a beautiful sight that can lift the spirits, so why not try to catch that joie de vivre in clay, I thought – everyone loves a hare, don’t they?
The ClayCraft Challenge • If, like us, you’re enjoying the Great Pottery Throw Down, and have been inspired to make along with the episodes, we’d love to see the results! For the next few months, we’ll print a selection of your work and announce a winner, who will receive a year’s subscription to ClayCraft plus one of our split-leg aprons
Doug’s DIARY
POTTER’S SPLIT-LEG APRON
Confessions of a novice Far from purrfect • The look on these kitties’ faces says it all. It was one of those times when everything went wrong, and the results were only fit for the sledgehammer
