Throwing big

From day one, my aim for GRIT has been to throw big vases and vessels for interiors. It doesn't sound like much of a target, but making ceramics is no easy business and throwing big takes skill and patience to master. Last week, the first batch of what I hope is many larger objects, came out the glaze kiln. It feels like definitive progress and I love the results.
