"THE LIFE SO SHORT, THE CRAFT SO LONG TO LEARN"


A group of press-moulded decorated plates to be glazed today

“The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne..."
 Geoffrey Chaucer, English poet, 1342/3-1400

The above quote, made more than 6 centuries ago, still holds strongly. 
After 35 years of making ceramics, there is still so much to know, so much I need to learn..
This week is to be a week of multi-tasking in my work, starting today with glazing a group of decorated plates and bowls for a large order for a gallery in Canada. The days seem to fly by faster than ever, and there is so much to do!
Watch this space for tomorrow's tasks!

You are a very busy girl lately. I am amazed at the pace that you are working and especially with the new found vigour with which you share developments on your blog. You are definitely setting the pace with regard to entries on a blog, very impressive indeed. Great stuff Tina.
