Waterfall Bowl SOLD

A second piece in the stoneware slip series in a thick waterfall glaze. The waterfall glaze does accentuate this technique for sure.

Stoneware Swirl Bowl SOLD

Honestly this bowl was a text of a thick stonemware slip I mixed up. I usually use a white porcelain slip to add texture, draw, and carve on. But...why not stoneware? The result was nice and wanting some of these pieces to have a rich dark clay body rather then white this solved my problem.

Sushi/Appetizer Platter SOLD

This platter does stretch and test the boundaries of clay. A large piece of clay is thrown in a disk on the potter's wheel, finger marks are applied, and the it is cut off of the wheel head. I then stretch and toss the cylinder into a long oval and apply curves to the edges. The handles seem to complete the shape and serve in the function as well. A bold red glaze is then applied.

Triple Dip Bowl

Even an established potter has a certain amount of control, it is then up to the firing and the glazes to make the work complete. It is so exciting to open the kiln and see what the process has created.

Lidded Vase SOLD

In hopes of giving a Mediterranean flair, this covered pot has a still and deliberate presence. Just right for treasures or jewelry.

Variegated Blue Vase SOLD

Sometimes the clay, form, and pot come together to make a combination that is just right, exactly what it hoped for. These are the little miracles that come out of the kiln and are one of a kind. Hopefully that speaks for the itself...

It may be noticed that many of my pots support the idea of 'three' just as this cup does. The 3 piercings represent the 3 piercings that Jesus endured for us. Yes it is a bold statement, but I love the reminder of his great sacrifice. What's better then waking up in the morning and enjoying a cup of milk while being reminded of our savior's great love for us. The love that is more than we can understand and that can pull anyone through any event, time, or trouble. He endured all that we have been through so we do not have too. How great is our God?
