Do You Make Your Own Gardening Pots?
19 Aug 2008
My sister is an artist, and pottery is her favorite way to express herself. She has done some beautiful work that decorates her gardens as well as my mother’s garden. I will have to share her pictures sometime. In conversations about pottery, I have learned that “throwing a pot” doesn’t mean tossing a pot across the room when it doesn’t come out perfectly - LOL - but the term used for making a pot on a potters wheel. She tells of the importance of centering on the potter’s wheel. If you are doing a pot, or vase or other similar item, the clay must be dead center on the wheel in order for your finished product to be perfect. I am not sure whether she uses a centering device, but can see that such a tool would be very helpful. AMACO/Brent is a company that provides devices like this, along with a number of other new products for the potter’s wheel. So if you make your own ceramic pottery, whether for the garden, or other uses, this may be something that will interest you. I’m going to share the site with my sister.
