Franklin County Fiber Guild Pottery Class on Sept. 26, 2015

We had a great time at our pottery class taught by John and Molly Dawson at Rock Island Trading Post yesterday.  This picture is from the Rock Island Trading Post Facebook Page by Molly Dawson.

Debbie and Kathy S. worked at the pottery wheels with instruction from John Dawson.  Debbie made a beautiful bowl on her first try.

Doris and I made decorated plates.

Rhonnaleigh made a decorated covered butter plate.

Kathy S. decided to make a pie plate like this one instead of the bowl using the pottery wheel.

John will fire our pieces for us, and then we'll go back and glaze them.  After glazing, they'll be fired again.  Here's a picture of my plate before firing:

Some of us used the extra clay to make some ornaments. 

We can't wait to see how our pieces look after firing!  Great class!
