My ceramic work

1. My second "four-elements" pot representing air with a butterfly. This is stoneware, glazed and mid-range fired to cone 6.

The fire side.

Water side.



A cave represents the earth element.


.


Stoneware, cone 6 fired with HR Satin glaze with Black Copper Oxide stain.


3. A pod-rose sculpted and glazed.


4. This pocket vase is low fired but glazed so it will hold water.




5. This is another stoneware pocket vase, glazed and high fired to cone 10.


I did the hand building, and my son, Tai did the glazing. Those are his fingers outlined in the glaze.



6. A small blue pod-box. SOLD

7. Black Mountain Blue shiney glaze interiors, and HR Satin matt finish with some cobalt slip on the exteriors, mid-range fired stoneware.


8. Green and white mugs.


9. Some pendants for the holidays. I'm hanging white snowflakes on my tree, and using the "holly leaves" around the centerpiece on the table. Most of the birds and animals have sold.
