Jenny from Invergarry Lodge is a creative soul and quite fancied having a go at pottery. Genius idea i thought!! Matt searched out Penny at Loch-an-Eilein Pottery in Aviemore and last week Jenny, Shell and i spent a messy but very enjoyable afternoon learning a few basics on the wheel, and we got extra technical by adding spouts and handles onto our wee jugs! It remains to be seen just how well they pour, and in my case, if the handle will stay on.....!!
Much more practice is needed for sure, but already we could tell just how satisfying pottery can be. Penny was a charming teacher and host and her work on display in her gallery was much admired- all the more so after we had given it a go ourselves!!
I think we are all keen for more, and i'm sure ebay has had a recent peak on searches for bargain potter's wheels.......
AND HERE ARE THE FINISHED GLAZED POTS!!! TA DAAAAA!!!
