Coral Stick

Coral Stick
10.5in.H x 48in.W x 6in.D
$3,500
this is a wonderful piece, but is difficult to photograph because of it's length...... I kept a small coral stick, found on the beach, in the studio for 2 years wondering how I might keep it stabile standing up... got nowhere...
just brain locked...then one day a friend asked if I had ever thought of it this way... I made 2 over  the next few weeks... this one and a thinner, skinnier one, now  owned by old friends
Albert and Tina LeCoff of the Wood Turning Center in Philadelphia... both pieces have remained a favorite of the last number of years of wood firing and they both have attracted maximum attention when they are  shown...
thanks A & T... your support has been fantastic...

Bread for Wyatt

I'm often told that my bread looks just like my pots
usually with a bit of surprise when said...
for me it is as it should be
the bread comes from the same place as the pots
the pots come from the same place as the bread...
there is no difference...

Frost

the cold of winter brings many changes with it's arrival...
the obviousness of iced cheeks, tightened skin and a shivering body
when returning from the wood rack late in the evening, among others, but
my favorite  is always the windows... when it drops well below zero...
I live in an old house built sometime in the 1850's or earlier
it has new windows, yet when below zero they become
moisture canvases of shapes and dimension...
most probably due to the pans of water atop the wood stoves...
beautiful on all counts and in a multitude of ways, each unique and surprising
last night ... my kitchen window...
I was so fascinated by the frost patterns, I didn't notice the slivered moon behind!

Round Waterfall Platter

Waterfall Platter
21in.W...
juts out from wall 4in.at top
juts out from wall 6in. at bottom
$1,800
has wall hanger...

this platter is very difficult to photograph well... I'm hoping the details help...
it was fired near the chimney of the kiln standing up on it's rim...
it slumped with the high heat
and "buckled " a bit at the bottom forming a ledge
where the glaze collected and glassified...one can feel the washboard effect of the glaze runs and see many suspended cooling crystals in the surface as light changes in the room...
the glass pool in the bottom of the "waterfall" is the result of a Shino glaze overfluxed with wood ash... this is a real beauty!
