Burnished Black with Apophyllite

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

Spring 2018
Spring 2018
Spring Schedule 2018
Sometimes, the fire is magic when firing in the raku process and in this case the fire brought out the beautiful blues and copper. I am working this winter on new ideas for clay. I love to work in clay because if you dream it, you can figurer out a way to build the clay piece. You can add texture and carvings, which gives the piece depth and design. Then the magic of the fire will hopefully bring the piece to life. Each piece is fired individually, thus making a unique statement in clay.

Raku Flower Container
Soft smoked black caved clay accented by copper band makes a perfect flower presentation. The attached pin frog enables you to have one or two flowers for a complete arrangement. I love flowers and wanted to make a unique flower container. $42.00 what a bargain!I am home for several weeks and will be working on new ideas for this fall. I love to have this time to explore new ideas and be creative. I am also painting this summer. I work in oils and paint from photos from trips and nature. It is a time to regroup and renew the creative spirit.

Spring is one of my most favorite seasons! It means rebirth and renewal. I hope to exemplify these in my new spring work in raku. I am combining the soft smoked blackness of the raku firing and copper to showcase the white flowers of spring. With open cut work and texture, the flowers come alive. I hope that you will visit me at a spring show and see my new work.

COPPER WAVES
It has been a busy year and this is the last months for art festivals. It has been a really good year with many new ideas and creations in raku. I hope that you will join me at one of the final festivals of the year. This months photo is an example of the colors of copper, enhanced by a beautiful crystal formation, and is one of my latest pieces. It has captured the fire, with blues, raspberry, and copper. This piece is hand carved and truly shows the magic of the fire.

2016 Ceremonial Gowns
Japan
Art museums often have on display ceremonial gowns from past celebrations thru the centuries. Often these gowns were of the finest materials with special attention to detail and design. I had this idea that maybe I could construct similar gowns out of clay. I had learned to sew many years ago and make many of my clothes. Using these skill, I set out to construct gowns from clay that were worthy of the most important celebrations. After construction, I embellished them with carving, giving them depth and the feeling of fine brocades. Each piece was raku fired and the colors of copper sweep up each gown.
United States
France
These gowns will be part of an exhibit at the Milton Roades Center for the Arts in Winston- Salem, NC. This Artist Spotlight is presented by Associated Artists of Winston-Salem. The dates for this exhibit are January 8 thru February 2.
My spring schedule will follow in the next month. There are many new ideas in the works. Stay tuned. Let me know what you think of this new idea!
