Hey Salty...seems your on your way with pottery demands...Great! I love working with clay as well, but never mastered the wheel. One day will try again. I love to work freehand style. Most of what's needed seems always to be at least foodwares. Goblets, krugs/steins, bottles, dishes, pickle jars etc, candlesticks and lanterns. I love the glazes that melt from a color and bleed a metalic sheen around edges of the color.

When you make the onion bottles please post!!!!! :o
