A friend popped into see me and said can you make me a yarn bowl, and I said a what? She said google it. So that's what I did and thought (as a knitter myself) what a great idea. It stops the ball of wool rolling around the floor, the cat playing with it and keeps the wool clean. This bowl has Dartmoor Gorse pressed into it, I made a plaster stamp from a piece of gorse I picked on Dartmoor not far from my studio. I then press this into the bowl before firing. Then I paint the gorse flowers and cover them in wax so they resist the tundra glaze. I have a love/hate relationship with this glaze Tundra, I love the way it looks when fired, highlighting edges in brown. I hate working with it as it solidifies between uses and has to be strirred for ages before being usable again.
