Latest new ancient Egyptian pottery

Here they are!  Our glazed coil pots are finished!  They are all waterproof and can be drunk out of or used as a lovely vase or for salad dressing....  Anything really!  They can go in the dishwasher but you might want to hand wash them to protect the handles.

Egyptian pottery...

Today we got our first terracotta pinch pots back.  They have been fired and are dry, hard and feel a little bit rough.  We are quite happy with them!

The coil pots we made have been glazed with a blue glaze to seal them and make them waterproof so they could be used as vases.  Hopefully the glaze will seal up any little gaps in the coils!

This is what the kiln shed looks like at Auckland Studio Potters where Ms Werder is glazing our pots.  Busy place!  Hopefully they will be glazed by Monday next week to hand out to children before the end of the year.
