Old Industries...

I'd booked myself on a pottery workshop today at Middleport Pottery. We were making pocket planters using paint and pressed stencils. I had been looking forward to it but my heart wasn't in it today. I'll know in a couple of weeks whether my efforts look ok or not, once they've been fired.

I had arrived quite early so went for a walk along the canal to Westport Lake. I passed this bottle oven on the way. The last time I walked along here it was real mess. They've certain cleaned the area up a bit since then.
