Wedding

I don't usually post about private life, but on this occasion I am making an exception, as it was an exceptional event.
On Sunday 25th April my son married his beautiful girlfriend.

To commemorate the occasion, I made little vases for each guest.

I threw them on the wheel from 230g of white stoneware clay.

I used every lump, no rejects, no fuss.

I have spent lovely meditative two days throwing & thinking about the young couple.

Here are the results:
