Arch form in the kiln during first rebuild. -
From the album: All kinds of ceramic related stuff
This kiln had been built by the original builder with angle iron supporting the arch, but also sitting on the wall of the kiln. Bad design. I eliminated this design in the second rebuild. -

The kiln collapse; I had moved the location of the base posts to fit a larger platter in that zone. Studio mate didnt notice the new layout when he loaded next, and this happened! -

These few pots kept the rest of the kiln from collapsing. Amazing since the kiln was at about cone 10-12 when the collapse occurred. Some Strong pots! -

A mannequin prototype for H&M Clothing Company. My boss was the sculptor and I made the molds and prototype. This was cast in plastics and resin bonded gypsum reinforced with fiberlgass, and auto body paints. -

About 80% done on the sculpting for the Arnold Schwarzeneger job; the head is just a fill in for the real one which was added later. This was a HUGE mold and SUPER heavy. -
