Ceramics: Bowls

The first time I came across the term "bisque ware" and the concept of "paint your pot" was in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The small shop in Kitsilano with shelves full of bowls, plates, pots, mugs had attracted my attention and I finally booked a session, chose much needed bowls, got some basic instruction and started painting. It was a lot of fun. I remember being quite excited when I came back to pick up the fired bowls. I rode my bicycle very cautiously back home, the bowls in their paper wrapping in a basket. 
I am still using them.
