I am thinking of summer and warm sand beaches. This conch shell started with a hand full of clay and was transformed into a conch shell with all of the beautiful colors of copper. The magic of the fire in raku brings out all of these amazing colors. Spring has been a very busy time, now that the weather is warmer. I have been able to make some new and interesting pieces and raku them. I hope that you will come and visit me at one of my summer art festivals and see my work.
My work was on the cover of Sunshine Artist Magazine in Oct 2014. If you would like to see a copy of the article, I will be glad to send you one.

check out my website. It has many photographs of my work and also includes photographs of the raku process. This shows what each piece must go through to enable it to shine with all of the beautiful colors of copper.
