The studio in which Angie and I make our pots is only 10 steps away from our homestead. The studio is equipped with a wood burning stove to keep warm, a treadle wheel and an electric wheel. For the past week I have been throwing pottery and hand building some larger jars. Angie has been throwing on her wheel, and doing some very cute slip decorations on her work, beautiful!
