  1. Two knee operations, rehab, a hectic work schedule, and the fact that the site doesn't allow me to sign in using my tablet...it has been a while since I posted. It has also been a while since I worked in the studio...but 2017 is another year. Looking forward to getting my hands in wet clay again. Happy Holidays

  2. Kiln cooling . Experimenting with two commercial glazes.

  3. Finally getting a bisque firing completed today. Too many distractions these past three months.

  4. Red letter day yesterday. 25 days from having my knee replaced I was able to go into the studio and throw for a few hours. I'm becoming human again!

      Rehab is the key factor on the outcome-do it no matter what.

      Isn't it fun. I did that like 4 times in the past few months. Finally went back to porcelain and gave up the rest. Now I just use slips when I want to change colors.

  7. Back from France...In Paris art is like a morning fog, it is in every corner of the city. Now I understand the Impressionists

      So how does French pottery compare to

      The USA and Canada?

      Can't say really. I expected to see some at Montmarte, but all of the artist I encountered were painters. One studio in the small stone village of Olargue was closed for lunch (12p-2:00p - gotta love those hours). I did find a road side gallery that was on par with what finds in the US...but my sampling was very small. So, I need to go back for a bigger sampling!

  8. Off to France next week. Hope to see some local clay.

  9. Heading to NCECA on Friday. Looking forward to being immersed in clay thought.

      Reports and pictures ... For those who can only watch!

  10. I was in Toronto recently and was able to visit the Gardiner Museum. Besides there wonderful collection of many of my personal post war clay influencers, the had an exhibit of three artist expressing ideas relative to "###### identity through clay". The gift shop was selling a T-shirt that had "Clay is So Gay" on the front. A must see museum for any fans of the clay medium if you find yourself in Toronto.

  11. While in DC recently I was able to spend a few hours at the Freer/Shackler Museum of Asian Art. The exhibit "Chigusa and the Art of Tea" is worth a look. It is a small exhibit but informative. The Freer is a wonderful treasure in the capital. The permanent collections are eye candy.
