COMING SOON!

 

A new body of work!

When I opened the lid to the kiln...... I looked down and to my utter delight....... saw the bowl I had worked on for days. 

It  does not happen very often....that what you visualize in your minds eye  ....... comes out of the kiln better than you had imagined.  It is thrilling! 

Ceramic artists are at the mercy of the kiln gods. 

A sample of my latest work includes an entirely new color palette. Before this final glaze firing I prepared over 20 test tiles.

 I tested and compared over 30 different under glazes, different application methods and different glaze firing temperatures. Additionally, I had to also test some new clear glazes applied over the under glazes.  For this I thank Virginia Pates at NVCC and her recipe for clear glaze. IT was the Clear winner (excuse the pun). Each color is hand applied.

Please share with me what you would like to see or discuss. 


Examples:  Studio set up? Types of equipment utilized? Glaze test results? What would you find interesting?

Need your ideas and suggestions.
