After seeing the artists on #greatpotterythrowdown After seeing the artists on #greatpotterythrowdown telling their story on tiles we thought it would be great to tell the story of Tarka Pottery! 
In the middle we have our logo which we designed over 10 years ago.
In the top left we have some hand, foot and paw prints which we love to do in pottery paints and also in clay. 
We use palettes with glazes and underglazes most days, so we’ve got one represented at bottom left along with paintbrushes and a little splash of paint.
Top right is a swirl representing a spinning pottery wheel with a couple of pots showing how much our studio is centered (pardon the pun) around throwing!
The wildflowers represent our love of using natural foliage creating textures from grasses and flowers to imprint into clay. Nature is so inspirational.

Although she didn’t have ball clay to use, I think its a winner!! 
Will you be trying any of the challenges this week?

Robert Burns quote we think Is particularly apt fo Robert Burns quote we think
Is particularly apt for pottery, as sometimes, regardless of what you do, a thrown, hand built or fired pot doesn’t always turn out as expected!
Happy Burns Night to all you Scots!

We enjoyed watching The Great Pottery Throwdown on We enjoyed watching The Great Pottery Throwdown on Sunday night.
We do lots of hand building in our studio and here’s a house made a couple of years ago. I’m not sure it would make Keith cry, but it lit up well!  @potterythrow

If you’ve visited Tarka Pottery, you’ll probab If you’ve visited Tarka Pottery, you’ll probably know that we have six chickens., who are usually free range. They’re currently in lockdown too - due to avian flu doing the rounds.
We were a bit worried that they wouldn’t like being enclosed, although they have a large covered area and plenty of things to play with.  However today they’d laid 5 eggs between them, each a different colour and size.
