53rd piece

I made some sketches for a future project. These are the first and third. If anyone has ideas for making these look more like flames your help is much appreciated. Also, this red is the only color I had to work with - again any ideas are much appreciated.

41st piece

I usually don't glaze my pieces but this glaze does exactly what I want - the majority of my porcelain pieces are salt fired.

39th piece


several weeks ago I was drinking a heineken and realized that we had the same green color glass in the pot furnace so I decided to try and make a beer bottle. I drink water out of it while I am at work. I have to admit it is kinda weird drinking out of a beer bottle at work.

some older pieces


These pieces are pretty recent but were not done this calender-year. I am shooting the pieces in my new photo tent/cube I just bought. It's great for smaller pieces.



38th piece

I wanted to show more of the process including the transfer to the punty. I wanted the punty (the rod the piece is transfered to from the blow pipe) to be pretty hot to show how you kinda have to dance with it... almost got it too hot though.
