Cynthia said....

OGP invited Cynthia Bringle to Ottawa for a 2-day workshop last weekend (Jan 12-13). I was lucky enough to secure a spot at this workshop. Cynthia is not only an excellent potter, she is also a good story teller. I learned a lot in those 2 days and also fortunate to have a few pieces of her fine work in my possession. :).

I am currently in process of incorporating some of the skills I learned into the way I make my pots. The first one is to not drown the piece when I am throwing. I tried it today with the 6 "mugs" I made, it worked quite well and the pieces are dry enough that I think I can trim and put handles on them tomorrow.
