New work in Gallery

Mother Earth

While staying at home, I have been working in the yard, cleaning, pruning and planting flowers.  Spending time in nature has inspired my latest raku, Mother Earth.  The beauty of nature with the birds, bees and green, green plants brings calm to a troubled sole.  It reminds us of what is important and maybe what is not.

November, December Festivals

                          November and December Festivals

Sun Rise, Sun Set

This is Sun Rise, Sun Set, a new work in my quest to make each raku piece  unique. Raku offers a chance to combine my view of nature in clay and the magic of the fire. My pallet is limited to 3 colors, black, white and colors of copper.  I never tire of exploring this combination and it leads me to explore new ideas and combinations.  My creativity is spurred by these parameters.

October Schedule 2018

The weather is changing and the colors of copper will change with it.  So many things affect the Raku firing  process.  When the temperature cools down and the humidity level lowers, the glaze reacts differently thus creating new patterns of color.  Raku is a bit of chemistry and a bit of art.  I think that is why I love Raku so much.

Schedule:  June and July

This is a new piece with Bysmith on top.  I love this crystal formation because of the geometric crystals and color.  It is a man made crystal.  It seems to me that it was created just to go with my raku vessel.  The colors of the crystal and the colors of copper in the raku are in harmony.  As well as art festivals, my work can be seen in the gallery: Seagrove Pottery of the Sand Hills, Pinehurst, NC
