Beautiful work. So,you are saying stoneware? Could easily be earthenware as well.

Like the decoration.

[Bird Plate with Cobalt]

michael cardew originated this bird.  i went to Seth's in 2002 and saw it everywhere.  was lucky enough to buy his sample at a workshop here.  had to have it glaze fired and it came out with a clear gloss glaze not at all like the originals.  have always loved the design, with the two birds, too.  good job!

You caught me! I apprenticed with Michael Cardew in 1978/79. Once in a life-time experience. Had to come back to Canada though. I was broke and had been away for two tears.

Years ago I traveled to England and visited Seth Cardew's studio....this bird plate has such a Cardew influence...did you study there???  Love it!

I apprenticed with Michael Cardew in 1978/79. One year. Seth was there as well.

I like those nesting slab trays, and the purple mug. I also have a purple glaze that I use all the time.

Hey;

I like the mugs. I would love to be able to soda fire. Great work.

[Small plate]

Nicely cropped. My only suggestion would be to change the background to a black cloth. The woodgrain is a bit distracting. Beautiful work.

Wow! Your work is beautiful. I can see why you were accepted into the student show at NCECA. Congratulations

John;

I came across a recipe for a Nuka glaze, which I understood to be white. I was interested in it as it uses wood ash, which I have an abundance of.[dangling participle there]. I mixed up a test. Like the surface quality, but it needs to be applied thicker. On your jar, are you putting it over black slip, or is it a black clay body? Looks beautiful.
