Today I taught a class in ceramic painting - that’s one of the reasons I’ve been working on all those mugs and teapots recently, to show as samples.
The class went really well and they all totally loved what they made. Here is what they came up with:
I love the way everyone comes up with something completely different, all using the same materials.
Lots of colour blocking and good ideas above.
Blue sponging above and multi stripes below.
I love this idea - one side of the mug has the pink handprint of a cute baby girl and the other side of the mug has the blue handprint of her big brother.
There was even talk of wanting me back to do another class for next term! 
Today was the first day without Daylight Savings. I am always so sad when daylight savings finishes - it means the end of Summer evenings, the kids running around naked saying “water me, Dad!” while Paul waters the vegies. I love the long days and the cool that comes after the full sun of the hot day.
Then again, today also marks the beginning of cool nights, warm scarves and woolly hats, and soon enough, colourful autumnal leaves, crunching underfoot and then freezing cold but clear and bright mornings, foggy breath and ice on the windscreen.
Still working on the ceramics. Loving the bright colours.
Loving the black against the bright colours.
I hope you love them too.
Next Tuesday I am teaching a class to my group, the Brindabella Women’s Group, on ceramic painting. This is something I first tried before Christmas and painted a few things for presents for family and friends.
In the next few days, I need to make a few samples for the class - and show off here on the blog of course. Here is a cute little tea set I worked on today.
I particularly enjoyed the scribbling and messy crosses on this set. I just used a Pebeo Porcelaine black pen after the orange was dry - easy!
I will be making a few more different sets over the next few days and then they will be up for sale in my online store at the end of next week. Let me know if you want me to reserve something for you.
Tea, anyone?
