Pottery class

Good morning Boxs,....   On ice cold but beautifully sunny Sunday morning, we drove to join a pottery class.

 The pottery class called "Hakusan gama".

Every time we visit the class, a lovely dog always welcomes us, she can not wait holding my legs. During the class, she comes to me and weights here body to me,,,, so I can feel her body temperature,, lovely.

My wife paints a baked dish, that she have kneaded and have made of cray, with a special liquid material. This painted dish will be baked again, then the painted material will be melting crystal that coats on the surface of the craft. After this process, color also comes out beautifully.

 I made a small cups for Japanese drink (Sake, Nihon shu). The cray was kneaded and was shaped on the rotate table.

 Here is an another one.

My wife was planning to make a small dish with heat resistant cray, so that the dish can resist by being flamed directly during cooking.
They will be air dried, will be baked until next our visit,  a month later....
