More Pottery, but sadly not mine!

My next seat neighbour is doing this little beauty. She has been doing pottery for a long time. It was created by placing a balloon in a glass and then dipping strips of ratafia in liquid clay (twice), then draping the strips over the balloon. It is ready for Bisque firing now and it will eventually be a night-light if it survives the process, as it is very delicate. This one is a second attempt. Now this is where my plan for the Clarice Cliff teapot comes in, (see blog entry below) the neighbour lady does art and paints well. We are having a day out shortly and I thought I might ask about the possibility of her painting the design on the teapot. I will pay for our lunches of course!
