This beautiful catalog arrived today from Form & Space 2024: International Sculptural Juried Exhibition at the Museum of Art in DeLand, Florida. Very cool to see a full page image of my work in it. Such amazing artwork in this show by incredible artists. What an honor to be included! #ceramics #clay

A close view of the inside of a bubble glazed ceramic bowl. The bubbles are black on a white background, and they are visibly denser where they pooled at the bottom of the bowl.

The same bubble glazed ceramic bowl in a side view, the shapes of the bubbles are especially clear in this view.

Round ceramic covered jar, with surface stamped with repeated small flowers, and button keys to show where the lid fits. Lid of the jar has a small hollow knob handle and the surface color ranges from golden brown to white from atmospheric effects of soda firing.

This little bird survived a volcanic eruption!

Buried by volcanic ash from Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago!

Villa Poppaea, Oplontis, Italy
📷 by me 2023

#Archaeology
My photo shows detail from a Roman fresco (wall painting) in a corridor at Villa A, the luxurious so-called ‘Villa Poppaea’ at Oplontis (modern day Torre Annunziata) in the Bay of Naples, Italy. The fresco depicts a small light brown standing on a small pinky-brown wooden shelf, against a vibrant red background panel. The bird is shown in profile, facing left, with plummage painted in various shades of light brown and grey to beautifully depict detail of its feathers. The bird is lowering its head with beak open, about to peck into a fig on the shelf in front. There are two further figs painted behind the bird which have already been pecked into. The figs are painted light brown. The figs which have already been pecked into have cream flesh and red seeds.

Grew a garden her mind,
And even on the darkest days,
From her smile the sun still shined.” (E.Hansen)

In honor of the big day (new episode of pottery throwdown) I thought I'd share this teapot; with a #superbOwl surface design; from my most recent kiln firing!

Happy day of the superb owl to all who celebrate!!!

Hard slab house. #ceramics #art
A handcrafted hard slab ceramic house sculpture with a rustic, gothic-inspired design. The house has a textured stone-like facade with multiple rectangular windows framed in red, along with a red double-door entrance. The steeply pitched roof has a woodgrain texture and consists of three sections—one central tall structure and two slanted side sections. The dark color palette, combined with the stone and wood textures, gives the piece a weathered, antique appearance. The house sits on a flat base, emphasizing its sturdy, handcrafted construction.

“Feral” Dahlia lidded mug. She’s got a little crack, but I still love the way this one turned out.

Hand-formed teabowl with slip texture and shino-like glaze. Woodfired in the Groundworks Art Lab anagama. Wishing I still had this one, but happy knowing it's being loved by its new owner.

Forever ago, I returned home from a roadtrip with a stack of salvaged cabinetry doors. “Happy birthday! Aren’t they great?”

I didn’t know they’d become our photo backdrop, but I knew they were special.
