The Great Crafts Project
As a homeschooling project I taught my granddaughter to make ceramic plates and trinkets. She's learned math, English, a little chemistry, and a lot of problem-solving!

Fat Cat
Here's a nice, fat, yellow cat for you! Another item from the granbeanie collection. Will be on sale at the Saturday Market on the River in Augusta, GA, May 2.
I'll have a few pots there, just some glaze tests and small items to help round out her work. I'm looking forward to the summer when I can work a little more on my pottery ;-)

Passing on pottery
Now that I'm partially retired I am doing pottery more as a teacher to my granddaughter than as a fulltime potter. I like to think of it as passing on a very old skill to a new generation. Even if she chooses never to take up the craft herself, she will always know what it means to make something from the earth with her own hands. I can't help but think that will serve her well. Here are some of her pots.
