So my students are KILLING IT this session! I’m teaching a new class and having a great time. It’s my LILLSTREET THROWDOWN class loosely base don the BBC reality show. We’re more than halfway through and they’ve just finished their first real handbuilding challenge! Sure, we could have done something easy… but what fun is that. So we dove right in and went for a handbuilt butter dish!!!
And here they are in all of their buttery glory!!!
And a tribute to architect Frank Gehry…
This one was a bit too large… so we were joking that it was “Large Marge-erine.”
So she went for it!!!
Love this one with the attached knife holder…
This one is extra sweet with a handmade ceramic butter knife too!
And probably the most inventive & creative of the bunch…
Even better when put into the scene parked at the ol’ trailer park!!!
Plus, sadly... the one that didn’t quite make it into the kiln in time…
We all would have loved to see this one glazed and done like the rest of them!
And the big winner… with Catherine tackling her handbuilding challenge with porcelain!
With beautiful simplicity and a perfect fit.
When is a butter dish not a butter dish? When it’s empty! OK, duh. These are so great. And yet nobody made a “French Butter Bell.” I guess that’s waiting for a throwing exercise.
