The adventures of Lori Buff, a studio potter and teacher, as she makes ceramic art and enjoys life with friends, family and some dogs. Travel and other interesting stuff is also discussed.
Here are a few of casserole dishes I threw. I decided to play with them a little and really like the result. I just think they are fun and interesting. After they are glazed they'll go to Macon, GA for Fired Works.
They look great, love the shapes. it's so hard to make covers for odd shaped dishes (at least for me!). I sometimes have to make three or more before I am happy with how one fits. Jeff went to the Potters Conference this weekend and saw a demo done by Martha Grover on covers for altered forms and he is going to attempt to teach me this afternoon.
Thanks Michele, I was actually kidding about the lids for these. They were made to be open casseroles. I know how to make lids for ovals & squares, I would assume it's the same for other shapes too. I can't wait to see what comes from your lessons with Jeff.
I love open dishes for serving- confession - I rarely cook in pottery but love a dish that is served in pottery. These would be perfect for so many things.
Thanks Meredith, they would be great as serving dishes, even if the food wasn't prepared in them, or as fruit bowls...Of course I can picture some cinnamon rolls in one of these right now.
mmmm mmmm delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary, now if I can only figure out how to make lids for these...;-)
DeleteI like their uniqueness.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I'm hoping they will look even better when they are glazed.
