Ann, your teaching style is wonderful. Probably took quite a while to develop, but you’re easy to follow. Bite sized info makes sense. Love to you and Jim.

I love the last design with the downy feather ❤

[easterazali]

[alilaforce]

Very neat to see how small changes in design and tools make a world of difference. Beautiful work!

Cheers from a snowy Finland!

I really liked the 'previously made' mug where the father tops extended below the lower 'boundary'. Sometimes, coloring outside the lines makes things better and that's something I'm struggling to keep in mind these days. Thank you for sharing!

I love them all, but the last is my fav!

[hussicots]

My favourite is the black and white mug that the feathers went over the horizontal lines.

These are lovely! Like learning new skills. Are you working onto porcelain?

Did you put 3 layers of underglaze before starting curving? Thanks for explaining.

[CeeJayKay]

I have been working on a bowl and made a mistake, scraped away some underglaze in an area I shouldn’t have. And there are indentions from my tool where I scraped. Is there any way to patch that up with more underglaze and Make it look OK after the final glazing and firing?

Great demo - are you left handed or is this just reversed?
