    Water Features

    I like to dabble in fountains- these are some recent designs. Generally, the top elements are Raku fired, and the lower components are fired at cone 6.
  3. Here's the link I mentioned above: Fish of the Month
  4. A raku planter with a hi-fire catchment basin. The design is an arctic grayling- a motif that I feature regularly (kind of a default). Here's a blog about my obsession with fish in general!

  5. Love the drums! My percussionist son-in-law wants me to make him one. I keep telling him it will be a bongo.

  6. Spectacular. Love the Möbius detailing on the rim. I assume the dimensions are in mm?
  7. By the way... comments and critique- including the negative variety- are welcome. This piece- in particular- represents a direction I'm interested in exploring further (fountains with integrated hi-fire and raku elements) and I'd love input both about functionality and aesthetics.
  8. A tabletop fountain. Thrown sectionally, with the final assemblage in three components. The bottom two sections are fired at cone six (with a mixture of weathered bronze and variegated blue glazes). The top component is raku-fired, with a carved grayling design. The pump is nest in the bottom vessel. The top vessel incorporates a self-watering planter, and the rim of the second component is also designed to hold cascading plants.

  9. A conga-style drum, half a meter in height, mixed raku glazes (Ferguson's White crackle, Soldner's turquoise, and Higby Lime Green). Fired to 1850 degrees. Horsehide drum-head pegged on with rivets. This piece is part of a larger series in which I'm building indigenous musical instruments from countries with critically endangered species- drawing from Douglas Adams' book 'Last Chance to See'. I've posted a lengthier discussion at Last Chance to See.
