Small piece where I am (still…) chasing a glaze combination I happened across. Maybe it was just the randomness of the kiln gods, but I am enjoying the results along the way.

Cone 10 reduction.

A few views of a piece done in 2024. Cone 10 reduction. Paired with a piece in one view that was done a decade before. I love organic forms that play with contour.

Not sure what to call these, but I see them as small elevated serving dishes. This one the photo does not reflect the subtle hints of blue near edges and breaks.

Chasing a glaze combination I fired a few months ago. This is closer but still not there yet.

Always document, document, document!

Combination of wheel-thrown base and hand-built leaves on this piece. Cone 10 reduction glaze.

This surface is something I find very interesting. Slab forms, hacked away to create the craggy surface. Wash applied away and wiped away and then clear glaze, cone 10.

Here is an example of a small handbuilt piece. Just a simple piece with glaze and glass. Cone 10.

Recent piece, wheel thrown. Cone 10.

Recent altered form. Bowl thrown on the wheel to which I added the leaves for this piece. Fired at cone 10.

I have received reactions of”succulent?”, “cactus?”, “lettuce?”, and “anenome?”

Make of it what you will…
