It’s been a glorious day up here in the north east of Scotland. The sun has been streaming through my studio window and I spent a lovely few hours this afternoon turning, burnishing and decorating some urchins. My plan is to make a homemade raku kiln in the next few weeks and get firing. I’ve tried a few different shapes…
I think the squatter ones are more successful, but when they’re grouped the differing heights look quite nice. I’m going to try and throw some bigger ones next time.
What do you think the collective noun is for urchins?

I will be interested to see how you glaze them or how you finish them. What nice shapes.
Thanks Claudia. Will post the results when they’re done. Keep fingers crossed as my record for glaze firing is not good.
I don’t know if there is a collective noun for urchins, but I love love love! these! Love the shape, design and color. Would you be thinking of painting or coloring this design? A sea glass green maybe???
Hi Pam, thanks for the lovely comments. I’m hoping to use a turquoise raku glaze on them – similar to the ones in my gallery. Will let you know how I get on.
Oh that will be lovely, can’t wait to see them. I’m sure it will turn out beautifully.
Very nice! Hope they fire well. Good luck with the raku kiln.
