My interest in ceramics and photography is often overlapping. Objects of interest to me sometimes come from random fallen leaves or layering of mountain range upon mountain range. A blending of glaze over textured clay gives controlled random color. A clay surface becomes a focus for flat abstract photograph. Leaf or flower structure becomes inspiration for ceramic texture. Finding the art is my goal.

"it is just dirt"
Quote from Julie, my first pottery instructor, "It is just dirt." That is sooo right. Spent some time last night making some home experimental clay mixture, by first screeding the dry clay/dirt thru a double screen to get the roots and rocks out before making a workable texture, see my earlier blogs . Did about 15 to 20 lbs. It fires cone 10 to dark rich color.
