Of course the first thing to do is to get a kiln and buy or build a pottery wheel.
Decided to built a wheel of my own from scratch material, got a DC servo treadmill motor on Ebay
and a gear reducer box also on Ebay.

I took two 8 week classes from March to September 2013. Below are some of the pieces I attempted to do. When the weather breaks in the spring I will start again doing some pottery on the deck with my own home-built pottery wheel.

Towards the end of my Springfield classes I started to get an interest in sculpturing. I tried a few pieces and found I might have a nack for sculpturing. Now that winter is here it is easier to do sculpturing inside since my space is limited.
As you can see the first row are flat piece sculptures and they will be put in wood frames as gifts.
What do you think of these?
