Some Stuff

Starting to move my work in a new direction by giving these guys more life and having them interacting with other wild beasts.

Possibly finished work

This little fellow here is a piece that may possibly be finished but I have not yet decided in my mind. Lately I have been just working away trying to work through some ideas and make work for a show in December.

New work and studio visitor

Here is an almost finished piece that is in need of some sort of display 

This little fellow was prancing around the studio so I decided that I would befriend him and have him hang out with me.

Soda Fired Treats

I did a soda firing a few weeks ago in order to supply our annual Clay Club cups and bowls sale with cups and bowls. The firing turned out really well except for some of the pots made with the EUP stoneware turned pretty brown with not much color variation.

Adventure in Porcelain

This is my latest work that I have been working on.  This is my first attempt at hand building a piece out of porcelain. I already really enjoy how it it looking and working with the new clay. If all goes according to plan then this piece will be battling another similar fellow both of which will have caste legs.

Some new treats

It has been a long while since I have posted anything but here is some pieces I have been on working on. I owe my inspiration for these latest works to the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Things I've Been Doing

Here is an image of my self portrait as it is completely finished and hallowed out. Really enjoyed the process of doing this piece.

This is the latest piece that I have just started. With this I have decided to build the form solid and then go back into it and hallow it out much like my self portrait.  I think this is going to be a great way to work my forms and really be able to get more interesting pieces.
