Greenware Trimming and Finishing

Trimming Greenware porcelain. My hands have to remain steady or Chatter will happen.  Sometimes I like the chatter, the tool bouncing off the clay. It can be as rewarding as making exaggerated movements to create swirls and carved patterns.  If I could emulate the force of nature called Erosion. I would say the even with this I am mining back into the clay to chisel away its final form.

Manitou Art Center

Im a greatful to be able to be a member in this space.

Camp Solomon Schechter

Great children's camp in Olympia, WA.  The counselors and children both took turns on Shimpo Aspires.  I gave demos on my Shimpo RK Whisper.  It was nice to throw right next to the lake.  The children had a blast.  It was great to see so many enthusiastic faces.  I think at least 50 children had a chance to try the potters wheel.  I definitely had some fans.  The children were very creative and one counselor wrote my name in hebrew on a plate!  Cool!

Old Gnome

Made this guy along time ago. .. I'm going to spruce him up. He is ten years old after all and winters can be hard on ceramics. Good ole mother nature.

Mugs

I like to make mugs.  They are for people to use every day.  I am happy to teach how to make mugs, and learn others techniques.  We can reinvent the wheel.  We can create something mundane, and make it fantastic.  Dragons are mythical beasts that hoard treasure, eat cattle, and entice Dwarves and Hobbits.
