A view into my world of pottery

Well several people have asked me to post a few pictures of my pieces.   I thought this might be a good way to chronicle my work and give a little insight as to what I am doing all day when I disappear for hours at a time.  

Here is a few pictures of some recent pieces.

This is a tea set that I made with tray for our Patrons Show at Libertytown Arts Workshop in Fredericksburg.  It is a great show where everyone that purchases a ticket receives a wonderful piece of artwork from one of the many artists.  Make sure you buy a ticket and stop by this Friday night to view all of the wonderful items that have been donated by the artists.   I will try to post some pictures of their work as well.  Here's the link if you want more information.  http://www.libertytownarts.com/

Here are some other pieces in my studio.

 My angels that I designed inspired from notes I used to leave my children under their pillow when we traveled.  These haven't been glazed  yet so they are showing their colors.  I will post again when completed.

 These are some of my recent bowls and casserole dishes, I am working on a few new designs ... we will see how they turn out when glazed ... that is always a surprise.

 This teapot was in a recent show all about food at libertytown arts.   I chose to do the pear, because for some reason, I really like pears, I have them all over my house ... not sure why.

 These next two pieces were also in a show ... these were handbuilt  pieces of chinese takeout.  My son, Mike painted the dragon on the top one in underglaze ... he is a very talented artist.  I will see if I can post some of his work in a later blog. 

Well there you have it a little preview into my world.    I am new at this blog thing, but I will try to keep it interesting and hopefully improve on my photography (sorry about the quality of the photos).  I hope you will join me on my journey.
