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
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.

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?

A look into the firing
Firing the kiln is an adventure in itself. It's like Christmas when the kiln is opened revealing a durable piece of pottery. The next firing will be the glaze firing and it is always a wonder to see what comes from the firing process. As I always say...Never get too attached until your piece is completely through the firing process. There are so many things that can happen.

Large Variegated Blue Vase $95
Realistically a vase with a small opening is ideal for holding a dozen roses or long stemmed flowers. Many vases have huge openings that would need many stems to fill them. This was made with the purpose of holding the dozen or so and making a statement in the center of your table. The handles seem to show that the pot has confidence and is strong.
