46 Days to Christmas – Snowflake Stencil set
Hi there
It’s Sunday, the sun is shining, it’s the week before the Open Days – and that means there’s one important thing to do today – RAKU !! I’ve managed to make a few birds and owls, but now they need re-firing RAKU-stylee!
So before we tog up and go get set up, here’s a super simple Christmas offering: nothing elaborate or expensive. Just a great snowflake and sentiments stencil set. These are absolutely brilliant for inky arty printing and gel plate work.
As I was gearing up to write this blog, and shine a light on snowflakes, I asked Dave this morning, whether he thought we’d ever see deep snow in this country again, down here in the south east…
What do YOU think? When was the last time you remember deep snow? Tell us below, but add where you are located too. I know Scotland still gets plenty of snow, right? Down here, I recall December 2010. It was the winter we moved into this old house. We just got the last of the boxes hauled in as the snow started falling. And it fell for a week. Snowed in we were. It was wonderful.
Right. No more procrastinating. Time to get the raku kiln fired up and get organised! I’ll let you know if it works out ok! I’ll let you know if it doesn’t, too!! So many factors to consider in this process. Nothing predictable about RAKU pottery!!
Love and Clarity,

I remember that snow couldn’t get to work for a couple of days & it hung around for ages where it had drifted so badly against the hedgerows down here in Kent& East Sussex. Can’t wait to hear how the pottery turns out – hope it all goes well & you have fun.
Hi Barb, I hope the pottery/Raku process goes well. I remember 2010, coming from South Africa, where you very seldom saw snow unless you were in the very high mountains, it was a bit of a shock to the system (had only been here 9 years), and that was in East of England just 50 miles north of London. I love this stencil, I know I have it, and time to find it and put it to good use. I think we may have snow this year, because it feels to me like it has been quite mild up until now. Have a good day everyone. Bx
