wet in the studio...

this one is taking some time
but so far, I'm liking the result...
still need to apply the eaten away worm holes
and deal with the interior...
some pieces seem never to end...
onward toward Philadelphia...

Philadelphia Craft Show...

will this small bowl be at the Philadelphia Craft Show in November
don't know... it needs another firing...
you'll have to come and see!

2nd Wave

the table is filling up again for the second wave
hoping for a month of glazing/firing as Philly approaches
anticipation is growing as are the nerves
change is change... and the wood cutting continues...

during firing these pieces slumped on the wads, just being heavy and large... then tipped into the adjacent pot next to it on the shelf... the spot was ground down and filled with some gold leaf... these pots are very involved with the light in the room as it's changes... changing light changes the surface quality in a myriad of ways...it is fascinating to watch over time... tough to photograph though...
