Working, Experimenting, New Ideas

​Settling back into routine after the Florida shows, and with three months of uninterrupted studio time ahead, I opened up the sketchbook to begin working on ideas collected over the past year and beyond.  This is an experimental time where I don't worry about whether a piece turns out great but just see if it's feasibly translated from sketch to pot and what unanticipated difficulties with the idea there might be.  Or, if I do or don't still like the idea once it's made.  Below are photos of some of the work in progress.  The difference in color is because the trays have gone through the first firing (bisque), but the pots are still "green."  (The spoons are fired, but a lighter shade of red because they must've been in a part of the kiln that was a little cooler.)

    o happy clay!

    I spent many hours as a child poring over fairy tales books and copying the illustrations.  And having grown up in a large family with no room for clutter, I came to appreciate things that were both functional and beautiful. My studio is in the middle of my organic garden.  Between gardening and working with clay, it seems like my hands are never clean!

           Before ceramics, I spent twenty-five years in fine art and graphic art, including ten years as a sign painter. My work has won several awards, is in galleries across the country, and has been exhibited in national shows.
