This is a sculpture that I made in 2013 that, due to my lack of experience with large scale outdoor sculpture, had to be re built from the inside out. Much better now as good as when it was first completed
I hope so
I am very excited that Mariko Okubo is coming from Kyoto, Japan to make a new body of work for soda firing at my studio in NW Arkansas. The first International Residency at Mulberry Creek Pottery, starting March 9 - April 20. #ozarkwabi #greentime-ceramics #huntermaypottery #mulberrycreekpottery
Paddled squareish- yes
Drinking morning coffee and dreaming of the spring firing of my wood fired salt/soda kiln. Crackle slip with Shaners Turquoise Oribe. Cone 11
Sustainable clay mixing. For the past 10 years this is how I make my clay. I got rid of my large pug mill and started mixing up my clay in plastic garbage cans and then put the slurry into used blue jeans. I operate my studio with solar generated electricity-very low carbon footprint-visually fun
When I was resident artist in Gansu province in 20I7 I saw many vessels with similar designs. Keaton Wynn might be a good source of information keaton.wynn@gsw.edu. He runs the Lanzhou ceramic residency program and is knowledgeable about Neolithic art from western China
キツツキ薪窯
Kitutuki Maki Gama or Woodpecker Anagama
Named after my favorite bird in my neighborhood, the Pilated woodpecker or peckergam. A larger variation on Ron Meyer's ratagama anagama kiln-designed by Chuck Hindes #ozarkwabi
A covered jar, but after you cast it in bronze it is art. Michael always referenced those pot as Persian jars . Persian ceramics being the source of inspiration.
Took this image in his condo at Athens, Ga, January, 2018 - while firing Ron's Ratagama Kiln. They were remarkable - amazing. One of the last times I got to have a one on one visit with Michael
Most people might not know that in his last few years Micheal Simon had a few of his most recognizable forms cast in bronze. Bronze Persian jars form in foreground. Ceramic platter in background. Jan. 2018, Athens, Ga. One of the last one on one visits I had with Michael. #ozarkwabimoment
Yes, just ask David Shaner
Yes, a lot of bloating is caused by organic matter in the clay. Easily solved by soaking your bisque for 30min- hour. Results vary according to clay body and the glaze firing. Could also reduce pin holing
She was a visiting artist at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensbori, KY Pretty spectacular work and a delightful human being as I remember
Techno peasant. I like it
fires beautifully and 850-1000 pieces to fill. Second chamber is salt/soda
"We're Toast" This is a piece I made about 12 years ago about climate change, but seems just as appropriate for our current political situation. Wood fired stoneware and fake toast.
why aren't they in jail yet?
Visited Diego Rivera’s Museo Anahuacalli last week in Coyoacán, Mexico last week. For anyone with an interest in Pre Columbian ceramics this a place for you
Hi John, just joining bluesky today and saying hello. Staying just the block from Joe M in San Miguel until the end of Feb. Nice mug!
Hi Linda. Glad your posts got me off my butt to get off Meta. You are my first follower! Nice pot from cyprus too.
I am slowly migrating away Meta and am looking for my clay community on bsky. This my two chambered wood kiln that I built at my studio in the Ozark National Forest in NW Arkansas.
