Trip to Stoke-on-Trent Potteries II

The next stop was Emma Bridgewater's factory tour; similar processes as in Wedgwood's factory tour, but we got to see a few more details as we literally walked through their factory from start to finish (except the mould-makers' in a different building) the atmosphere in the factory was great, with many families/relatives working there, staying up to a few decades.

Again, I can't put up too many photos (I didn't take any in the hand-decoration & lithograph department because they were patterning for next season!) but it would be much more mesmerizing if you saw it in person! : )

Wheel throwing pottery Day 3

New to the collection is: big bowl (for rice), small sake cup, mug (not done very well).

I'm still kind of struggling to pull up the wall, it broke off twice because I squeezed it too much, and the mug wall is not very even, but it's on the verge of breaking so I just let it be.

Next week will be more shape experiments!
