I have a fondness for bamboo, and have made brushes from the more interesting

sections of the plant I have found. Here is a selection of a few of the brushes.

I think I want my blog to be about images, more than text.

I will give a brief description when needed.

Some of the images I am providing are historical pieces

such as the green/oribe handbuilt platter.

I made these several years ago. I have not found the

patience, or the time to make them again.

When I work on the potter's wheel, I make contact with the
ability of the clay to move and dance in my hands.
This mug was from a series, and represents the most
successful of perhaps 30 made that day.

Last Spring I was experimenting with porcelain slip and came up with a series of forms...what I like the most about these are the shadows created on a white wall.

Images of my work.
I make stoneware cups of thin sheets of clay, I fire in a reduction atmosphere to cone 11. The cups sound like tin cans when tapped.....
I like the responsive quality of the clay to texture.

Introduction

Late August 2008.
In the beginning efforts of creating my blog, I will post images of my work to let you know who I am, and what I do.

My first image is one of my back yard with a small portion of my studio.
The spring is what is reflected here, when the plants are happiest.
