The bowl is the largest I've ever thrown, I believe it's 11" across and four or five inches tall. Each item is decorated on the exterior with a carved design of wildflowers that I hand fill with glaze. Very time intensive design but I do love it anyway.

Slab built using Feeney's Red Raku clay and glazed with Mayco Elements Burnished Steel

Yesterday's firing. The black spiral design is new and required practice.!! And there are 6 spiraled designs, not the normal four!!! Try it!

Fired to ^6, Bee mix 5, Amoco Celadon C-21, Base glaze from Mastering ^6 with 10% Zircopax. I call it Precious White.

I love all the varied shapes a good mug comes in. The shape is my current favorite. It works well to separate the textured areas from the geometric sgraffito in the bottom. It has a pulled handle and commercial glazes and was fired to cone 6 electric.

Stoneware, single fired to Cone 9 (electric)

Top tile fired cone 10.

#1 strike fire to 1350F with 30 min. hold. Tile #2 control piece, color before strike.

Largest is about 71/2" x 4"...great for holding the dipper for that perfect chili he's making for the big game.

porcelain with Bronze Temmoku

made this ginko leaf mold so i have variety in my most popular design. i can place clay slab in any position and allow for dragonfly impression at various locations on each finished pot.

Flower of Life pattern.
Cobalt oxide under a turquoise crackle glaze. I love the way the cobalt bleeds a little near the bottom but stays crisp near the top.

∆6 oxidation
 
Priceless.

Hand cut paper stencil sponged onto green plate, then glazed with underglaze and paper stencil removed.

Blue plate, slab built with pear centre, metallic commercial glaze mixed with transparent.

Thrown white earthenware, linear additions, Holes carved then dots added. Wash of copper oxide and cobalt carbonate airbrushed when bone dry. Bisqued to 1000oC. Transparent glaze poured over, fired to 1100oC.

new slabroller extension and cleaning up the excess that had collected on the back table makes studio neater and easier to use. additional drywall sheets added on new tabletop storage rack adds 1/3 more space for finished work waiting for firing. there are 4 of the closet organizers, each with ten shelves of drywall. only 2 drawers with supplies, all the rest are drywall approx 18x24 inches.  except for lizard poop,  studio stays surprisingly clean.
