A photo flower for the day.

Just a little yellow summer photo for the day.

this and that today

From last bisk fire, a new clay abstract tile. And from the camera a leaf I saw at the dumpster today.

Mixed bag of images

This is a bunch of activity of mine over the last few days...
                                                      first is a special ceramic project.

Second is a rain storm with a different look

Third a look to the sky

And finally a clay absract fired (or first firing)

Last couple days at studio

Been working on textures as usual with my native clays.  The first here is a base white clay and over that I have used 3 local clays I have processed into an abstract "tile". the second is a bowl with 2 clays inside and a heavy texture outside I will treat after bisk firing with oxides. The third is just a simple heavy bowl with predominate red local clay mixed.

A few new fired pieces

A new cup, a blend of clays and home clays roughly blended and matt white glaze inside thinly applied and applied and wiped off on the outside. And a platter with applied imprint of Palm Sunday's palm with applied white and brown glaze partly wiped off over a blue green glaze in the imprint.

Weekend clay and burnishing

Home clay and a mix with a commercial  brown worked well this weekend on a 12" bowl that is drying now reading for fire. Made some plaques with a brown clay base and added 3 home clay thick slips for color sculpting.

And a tall thin vase waiting for glaze.

and a plaques in progress.
