Red, black and yellow

One the best examples of the new firing's colors

from an older firing

All of these are pieces from the last firing that went out into the wide word
post Hata Fest. (I still smile when I think about the turnout that event brought.)

This week is midterms at Susaki High, which means no classes for this guy. Unfortunately I am basically out of workable clay at the moment. This means at least two days of drying, mixing, and wedging reclaim bucket clay. I just got the order confirmation of new glazes and my 30kg of clay, so I won't be using my clay body of choice this week, but I hope to spend some hours working on coffee mugs. Photos will follow as usual on Thursday.

Have a great week folks.

Artist Statement

I really don’t know what my work is. Self exploration? My hands seem to pull new things from the clay every time I sit at the wheel. I love the rhythm and physicality inherent in working in clay. I am a self educating ceramics enthusiast seeking to heighten my understanding and skills in a field that has, I think, always held my heart. There is just something so perfect about someone sitting at a potter’s wheel, and producing something that is meant to be held! With every rotation of the wheel new shapes and desires come to me, and I can only keep growing in order to better express those sensations in my work.
