       Well here goes, I'm not sure how this all works !! but I feel that I want to blog and share with friends and anyone who may be interested etc .  

 

MasBlancPottery

 

 

 

MasBlancPottery relates to the area (you could call it a small hamlet / aldea ) where we live.

 

       Budding potter that I am ! (under the watchful eye of our tutor and friend Catherine) and my wife Maggie who is a budding patchwork quilter.

 

Our Grandson Henry's first quilt that Maggie has put together

       On a recent trip to the Uk I bought a Leach / Woodley treadle wheel from ebay,  I restored it to its former glory and I'm now using it daily and just love the simplicity of its movement. 

 

 

 

 

Having set up my small pottery studio next to our garage (small and cosy) my plan is to have weekly lessons and practice regually.

 

I have scrolled through and watched many of the pottery video's on YouTube , there are some very fine potters out there, thanks for sharing .

I plan to turn this drum into a Raku/bisqe kiln. now that should be interesting!!!.
