"Dreaming of Birds"

Illustrated ceramic coil pot, depicting my two kittens whilst in quarantined in our garden till they’re old enough to roam free.

The good folk at Colchester Makerspace kindly sent a ball of clay during lockdown when unable to get to the space with instructions on how to make a coil pot. This was my first attempt at this process, usually preferring to throw clay on a wheel. It created quite a hand-built, chunky appearing shape, but I’m still reasonably happy with the decoration hiding all the imperfections!
