Time to get back at it!!


Well....it's been a summer and fall since my last post. I have made many pieces since, have boxes and boxes of bisqueware. I also have been working on pitfired pots with watercolors to incorporate imagery into the smoke marked surface. I am liking the results. Since I'm am teaching basic 3-D art classes, I have been working in other materials to make examples. Cardboard relief, paper sculpture, paper mache, firebrick-apple-and soap carving!!!!


I have found my lost love of mache again and am finding that it is lending itself to the characters in my drawings. I might continue to spend more time with this media to see where it takes me.


However, with the change of semester coming up I will be teaching more clay classes again and be able to streamline my clay focus. It's time for perfecting glazes to put on the small army of bisqueware that awaits.
