Jars, Pitchers, Platters

The last two weeks I committed to making things other than mugs and I  am going to carry that momentum through April as well. This week I worked on jars, pitchers, and oval platters. My surface lately reveals floral elements which I am enjoying, however my next batch of work I am going try to combine my past abstract, lyrical surface and this more stylized floral imagery.  

The group of SPC artists in residence are off to Milwaukee tomorrow for NCECA. I'll be sure to share when I get back!

Work for Sale

Hi All!

So, I just shipped off a bunch of work to Northern Clay Center and should be online for purchase in the beginning of January. 

Also just added a few things to my etsy store. Check it out.

Some new juice cups/party cups in the works. I am thinking stacks and stacks and stacks for my exit show in July.

A sneak peek at new juice cups/highball tumblers. I've introduced pastel colors into the mix here. 

Bowl forms are looking better and could get some nice surprises with these jars.

Mug-a-thon

With the Holiday season approaching, I have been working on getting together a few shipments of mugs out to various places. Here is the latest batch. By Wednesday this week I'll post new pitchers and plates on my website. Looking forward to slowing down after the holidays and experimenting on some new forms and large platters, but for now I got to keep cranking out work. 

I started flipping the cups upside down when applying slip. I think it increases the energy of each piece. 

Over a month ago I switched to a mid range white stoneware and am still working on getting the right color combinations.I think these are getting there. 

Trying out some squat forms. Needs some tweaking. 

Lining rims with color

New Colors

Working on some new slip color palettes. In undergrad, I did a series of prints with essentially the same colors as the last color group and was told it was a "weird color combination". Here I am, three years later, coming back to the same weird combination. I like it.
