Working along



This is the latest piece I have been working with. I am attempting to make it as if this creature is engulfing this other egg like object.

Collaboration!


These are some teapots I made over the two days.  My room mate Robert came to me with the idea of doing a collaborative piece with him as he is a metals grad.  We came to a decision make a teapot and tea steeper combination.  I have made the tea pot and now he is going to construct a chain that hangs inside the pot with a tea steeper attached to the end.

New Work in Progress

This is a new piece that I have just started. I am really beginning to enjoy the forms that I'm getting and figuring out new ways to push them farther and get the form I want.

Clay Print

This is a technique I have learned in undergrad but have never really used. I am going to show the class how to do this for my lesson.  This is a really fun process and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it, even though it isn't the best print or drawing.

Working progress


This is a current piece I am working on.  I am trying something a little different from my last pieces my leaving the seam line where I have joined the pieces.  Im not quite sure how I feel about it yet maybe I'll love it or hate it.

More Functional Treats


Here is some bowls and vessels from the last soda firing. Not the best results ever but it is what is is.

Testing and work in progress

Here is another test I did by using layers of underglaze. With this one in particular it is on a porcelain clay body fired to cone 04 then sandblasted through the layers of underglaze.  I still have not achieved the look I have imagined in my mind, but this had some interesting results.



A few photos on my latest work in progress that will be going to some lucky person for the exchange.
