So I was hunting around for terracotta candle holders to use as a table piece for my sister's wedding last year. I have always had a fascination for the natural red colour of terracotta when fired....it bowls me over. While I was not able to succeed in finding something that suited my design ideas or the budget, and instead settled for a glass candle holder, I got the opportunity to meet a village potter in Goa. I was impressed by the work he was doing, all terracotta, done beautifully and well finished. This triggered the interest to learn this art form. I have always been one with an inclination to the arts and crafts - drawing, painting, needle work, crochet, sewing, flower-making and have done all of them in the past. But Pottery was something 'new', something I had never done before. It fascinated me.....so i decided to take the plunge n learn pottery. So last year, when i quit my job, I had a lot of time at my hands - perfect for me to dedicate time to start learning
Nice work, Lynn!! Pottery is something I havent tried...but as it is I dabble in too many art forms. Happy "Throwing"!!!
