Last stoke, sealing up and done. With many thanks to @robinwaldenceramics who’s super organized and so very generous in sharing his knowledge. With thanks to @ameliaroseceramics as my team buddy and talented potter. Thanks to @neilhotchin who’s axe skills and graft are second to none and who’s interest in ceramics has accelerated his ability to turn out a fine pot himself. As @robinwaldenceramics said, what a dream team 👍🔥🤛
