Spring is on the Way

A little touch of Spring . . . hoping it is on the way. The vases are kohiki slip, with an iron red glaze inside. The tulips were part of my booth at last week's Spring Bling show in Leesburg, VA. The daffodils in the yard are getting ready to bloom. Hooray for color.

Vases and Planters (Turner's Beauty)

These are also gas-fired; the glaze is Turner's Beauty.

Vases and Planters (Hannah's Buttermilk)

Here are a few recent vases and planters . . . these are fired in a gas kiln; the glaze is Hannah's Buttermilk.

New Vases

Here are some new vases to enjoy.

New Birchbark and Kohiki pages added

I've added new pages showing Birchbark and Kohiki work. The Birchbark technique was taught by Eric Serratilla (www.ericserratilla.com) at a workshop. My plan is to continue to develop my use of the technique and hopefully bring it into my portfolio next year. Much to learn and figure out. The Kohiki work is part of my current portfolio . . . I also have some ikebana vases in process that are not pictured; will add those later.

New majolica page

I've added a new majolica and earthenware page to show some pictures of platters and trays from the Linda Arbuckle majolica workshop.

Linda Arbuckle Majolica Workshop

Completed a two day majolica workshop with Linda Arbuckle at The Little Pottery Shop and Studio in Frederick, MD. Had a good time learning a new technique and approach. Linda is a wonderful instructor and potter. She makes majolica decorating look so easy. Now comes decision time . . . does this make it into my portfolio of pottery? i need to glaze and decorate a few more pieces before I have enough to fire the kiln. Till then, enjoy the pix.
