     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.

     It is time to start thinking about the spring Arts and Crafts Shows.  I have been working on new ideas to introduce in the spring.  It has been really cold so I have not been able to raku fire out side.  I have focused on making new pieces and will be ready to fire when a good weather day comes along.  I will post pictures of some of my new ideas when I get them fired.
     The  Sunshine Artist Magazine cover and article was really good and I am very proud to be on the Oct. 2014 cover.  If you would like to see the article, you can email me for a copy.  jettclay@aol.com
     The Clay workshop that Kathy Whitley and I did in January was a success.  All of the participates really seemed to enjoy the demonstration and hands on clay.  They all did a great job on their projects.  We will have a follow up workshop next Jan.
