Last weekend was spent the way many of my weekends are: at the Poddery while Tasha is doing her work. This particular day she was working on the wedding favors, so since it had something remotely to do with me, I offered to help. She is fashioning ceramic ginkgo leaves for the guests, since we have a ginkgo leaf theme going. I took some pictures to illustrate some aspects of making ceramic objects and show the process. Plus, I talk so much about Tasha's work, and you deserve to see the frickin' place.
This rolling press is used to flatten the clay to make slabs, from which pieces are cut.
We then stamped the pieces with a linoleum carving Tasha made.
The stamped pieces were trimmed to shape.
We did a lot of them.
When they're glazed and fired, this is what they end up looking like!
