Pottery Shed

We have been working on converting our old chicken coop into a pottery shed. We insulated it and have started putting plywood up on the walls. We will paint the walls white and let the kids use them as "graffity" walls. Should be a nice extention of our tight quarters right now and may make a good little farm store in the future. Or just an amazing play house! =) For Christmas and birthday from Michael and my parents I got a pottery wheel! LOVE IT! Elle is really enjoying it too. Today we made 3 small bowls and a vase. All very simple, but things we needed around here.

Elle is so cute to see how hard she concentrates and really works at doing it right.

Elle's tea set

Here are the latest items I made back from the Kiln. I made this little tea set for Elle. She was so excited!

They were both glazed the same but the teapot (I can't help singing "here is my handle, here is my spout" in my mind whenever I look at it) looks so different because it was done with red clay and the milk pitcher and cup were done with white clay.

How fun!
