Nick Membery Pottery – Kitchen Pottery
January 4th is National Spaghetti Day in the USA. I’ve decided to celebrate it here at Waun Hir Pottery too. Previously I wrote Lasagne for Dinner, today’s Italian classic is spaghetti in the latest in the series pots for food.
Spaghetti is the Italian plural for spaghetto – a diminutive of spago which means thin string.
The pasta dishes like the one shown here are a favourite at the pottery, available in two sizes to buy online from the Kitchen Pottery shop.
Following on from Salad Days in May, the next date on the food calender which goes hand in hand with a pot made regularly here at Waun Hir Pottery is National Lasagne Day. Celebrated in the USA tomorrow July 29th. I love lasagne and cooked it for dinner tonight. I first made rectangular baking dishes while at college. I have always enjoyed making pots that are thrown on the potters’ wheel and then altered in shape. The lasagne dishes available in three sizes from the Ovenware section in the Kitchen Pottery shop employ this technique. The thrown wall is made without a base and altered into a rectangle which is then joined to a rolled slab base.
