I’ve been busy working towards 3 firings while my house was undergoing major renovations that I hope will allow me to stay right here and keep making pots well into the future. It’s been exciting and entertaining to live through the process! Now I have a like-new home and some pleasing forms that I’ll be working on for a while, like this swan vase, above, which comes with an insert to make flower arranging easier. I’ll have some of these along with other bird vessels, painted jars, mugs and faceted ewers.
The vases that were inspired by a handful of rutabagas I’d peeled have been fired now and there are more recent additions to the group:
Rutabaga Vases, soda fired stoneware, 3.5” - 6” H.
Susan Ashley will again hang her gorgeous work on the walls, and my Firing Squad will be showing their pots in the yard. Please come join us and see the new work!
