New clay body

Spring: Blossom – 40 Years in the Making

Saggar Firing in an Electric Kiln

Ceramic Artist of the Year 2021/22

TWO-PART BIRD FEEDER • This super two-part feeder makes a lovely feature in the garden, and if you hang it somewhere visible from a window, you will have hours of pleasure watching the birds come and go – and a few pesky squirrels, if my garden is anything to go by!

LINDA BLOOMFIELD • Last month, I covered how to make and fire glaze tests. This month I will explain how to analyse your glaze test results and adjust the glaze or correct any defects

TRINKET BOX • Make this oriental-inspired box to keep your little treasures in. Red and black continue the theme of the orient in the decoration, but other colour combinations would work just as well

MAKER AT WORK: WENDY LAWRENCE • Continuing from our profile of ceramic maker Wendy Lawrence in the last issue, we follow up with a step-by-step guide to her working process

FEMALE FIGURE • The process for making this figure is a slow one because it has to be built in stages, allowing the clay to firm up in between times – it should be the perfect project for those who don’t get long stretches of time to work with their clay

THE GREAT POTTERY THROW DOWN • The Potters of the Week for episodes 1-5, and some snippets from the leavers

GARDEN MONOLITH • This is a somewhat stylised monolith compared to the aged examples we see in stone circles – and, of course, very much smaller in scale. However, covered in magma-like glaze and given time to weather in the garden, it won’t be long before the sculpture looks like something from another time

Doug’s DIARY

BUBBLE TECHNIQUE • This is a real playtime technique. Practice on test tiles or old pieces of bisque ware before trying it out on your work

KEITH BRYMER JONES IN THE FLESH! • Delayed for a year due to Covid, a long-awaited Anglian Potters demonstration finally went ahead on January 16th
