A couple of weeks ago Michael Harbridge did a fabulous demo on making turkeys from his gourd molds. I have been dying to see how he made them and was really excited to finally see.

Here is the smaller one made with leaves for tail feathers (the cardboard was there for support).




Also made a big one with feathers.




And a fish for good measure.




All of these are made with raku clay. I'm hoping to do my first raku firing ina few weeks.
