Got this one back last week and liked the texture and colors, First I used a crackle glaze and with oxides. 2" slabs (4) of clay cut away to create the form. Cone 5
This one is slab built using my great new mallet by David Ulschmid with www.wispwoods.blogspot.com. Not fired yet, very thin side walls.
Porcelain cone 5 clay and banding wheel hand turned with rib to give very soft surface treatment (unusual for me.)
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.

Winter at the coast
On our last visit to the SC coast I caught this one from an inlet fishing spot in last light of the day.

Natures Architecture
Just having a little fun at lunch playing architecture with some mud dauber nests I have fired over the last year. These insects have habitat down to a science...I fired some natural, some with glaze, and some with iron oxides.
