Old Church

to all pottery lovers far and wide...
please consider coming out to support this show and these great potters
coming from all around the country ...
for a short weekend this "old church"
becomes a makeshift Temple to pottery, it's makers
and all who are supportive of the endeavor...
it is a time, rich with visual treasures, lively conversation and the sharing of knowledge and magic...
your attendance will be supporting the art school housed within
and the fine work it does throughout the year offering classes and events,
as it provides testimony on behalf of the arts,
in a multitude of ways, to it's surrounding community...
a worthy enterprise on all levels
give it a try... you'll leave with a sparkle in your eye and a warm smile in your heart...
and just maybe... that rich, magical sense of wonder we all wish to carry within...

new surfaces from older pots




seems I have found a way forward without the wood kiln
with a look back at some old pots found in the barn...
one never knows where the necessary info will come from
yet it inevitably comes
from a new source or an older one,  matters little
only that a way forward emerges is the point of things...
magic wears many coats and comes in the most surprising ways...
I remain grateful it comes....

Brown Rod Box




after the walk below, a pot for today
Rod Box w/ 3 Lid Layers
approx 12in.W x 6in.H
$950
a wonderfully crusty surface, feeding the ancient
quality I always seek in such pieces...


morning walk





a few from this mornings walk around
I am continuously amazed at the variety in the intensity of the colors...
all dependent upon the light and moisture of any particular moment...
I am very lucky to have been here for this time...

Searching

Searching for a new surface...
an initial result, looking for something
to use on some meteor pieces I'd like to make
getting close... perhaps...

backyard colors

backyard early morning colors
before the coming rain...
one walks right by here to
get to the gallery...
a fall fanfare if there ever was one!
