Making magnets

commercial drive car free day preparations
We have 2 Australian friends staying at the moment in our little bed and breakfast (our 1 bedroom loft apartment). Today Catherine and Lisa are exploring the Aquarium and hoping to run into some raccoons in Stanley Park. Yesterday they visited the pottery studio with me where everyone was busy getting things ready for our big fundraiser which kicks off this Saturday night. Volunteer help is always appreciated, so they were quickly put to task, thanks girls!

I enjoyed making these magnets - pictured above to the left which are thin slabs of clay I cut out, fired, glazed, fired, put transfers onto, fired and then will add magnets to the back (this process happened over a number of days). I'd like to experiment with this some more! Idea c/o Robyn - thanks Robbo!

More of what's happening on the JustPotters blog.

  3. Thanks Katherine and Jaime, I have a bike magnet on my fridge right now and they are very strong. I made them with a number of different bike styles in the hope that people could find one similar to their own.
