members really went to pot!
Sheila Gunbyrdemonstrated
for us her talents at 'the
potter's wheel.
Sheila has been in the
pottery business for six
years. She told us there are
two basic types of clay -
stoneware and earthenware.
The latter is used primarily.
for manufacturing ceramics
such as Blue Mountain
Pottery. This particular form
of clay requires a glaze to
make it hold water.
Stoleware is popular for
coffee mugs, casserole, and
planters. It's unlikely to chip
if dropped, and can be used in
the oven.
Using this clay, Sheila
made some delightful pots on
her wheel. She made several
from coils and slabs of clay
without using the wheel.
Her hobby has become a
business for Sheila - she
supplies shops with her goods
and sells her wares at craft
shows and at her home in
Dungannon.
Sheila enjoys her "potting
career" since she can work
from her home.
