Some work in progress for summer's upcoming shows. Been really getting into making sigils lately.... a bit more symmetrical than typical patterning.
The Forest Sprite wall-sculpture is terra cotta -- it'll get a copper oxide wash before it goes into the kiln.

Ever since I was a child I've had a slight obsession with making and collecting smallish lidded boxes. This one is about 9" tall and 4.5" at the base. I'll repost the pieces when they're final fired and completed. #phylactery #handbuiltpottery #potterysky #kylix #facejugs

Posts of my work get drowned out- as expected in such a crowded space. Perhaps I just need to post more to get engagement?

Another phylactery for your lich. This clay will fire a very dark rich brown so I'll only glaze the inside (blue, perhaps). Also good as a spell jar. #kestpottery

One of my new fired pieces. I might call him Pierre or Louie...something French? About 7" tall/wide. About 5" deep. Yes, that is the color of my room because green is awesome.

More recent work from 2024. "Spring" is a 36" x 36" oil painting, 1 part of a 4-panel "seasons" series. I hope you enjoy it.

Here are some old school clay modeling pieces I've done recently. Terra cotta and copper oxide washes, about 12-15" high, fired at Cone 04.
