                                   White Bamboo with Apopholite  Crystals

This spring, my inspiration will be the beauty of nature.  I went to a gem and mineral show and got some beautiful new crystals which will inspire new forms.  I love the combination of the raku with crystals.  It is the combination of the earth, wind and fire.

January 11 - 12..........Clay workshop.  I will be teaching a clay workshop with Kathy Whitley at the Art Center in Virginia Beach, Va.  My part of the workshop will be to have students build a square box.  I really look forward to showing others my techniques and inspirations.

A Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak:

The more he saw, the less he spoke:

The less he spoke, the more he heard:

Why can't we all be like that bird?

Author Unknown

I am always inspired by nature.  For spring, maybe wisdom of the wise old owl should be added.

My raku pottery can be seen at the following Arts Festivals and also in The Red Dog Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC and also in the Pottery of the Sandhills in Aberdeen, NC and in Southwinds Gallery in Kernersville, NC.

Raku Lantern

Sometimes the fire is the magic and in this case it is true.  You can see how the fire flamed up this piece, bringing out all of the colors of copper.  I love it when the blues and coppers merge.  Nature is my inspiration in its color, texture and form.  Raku combines the earth, wind and fire, connecting my work back to nature.  This lantern stands 18" with cut work.

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.
