Snake pitcher and plate

Rainy Sunday

I think I'll make another discus plate.

Three little goldfish

1 gallon snake pitcher (in progress)

I hope I hope I hope I make good choices when I glaze this!

Flying fish (in progress)

I have high hopes for this one.

A nice fish

Also for the Garden Show in May.

A nice bowl

Koi Birdbath

No cracks, but I'm not sure about this one... it doesn't really hang together, does it? I'd like to re-glaze the center (solid blue), but there's always the risk it'll crack in the second firing. Better leave well enough alone.

Opah platter (in progress)

Also known as the Hawaiian Moonfish. The tail area is pretty fragile... I'm not sure this piece will survive.

Fantail plate

Diameter is 11 inches

Garden Tableware

For our May 2013 show at BayArts, some tableware. Amaco underglazes on brown stoneware with Laguna glazes.

Coming in October 2013: "Fins and Fur"

Happy News! Next October, my college pal Lori and I are doing a 2-person show in Groton, CT at the Gallery at Lighthouse. The show will be called "Fins and Fur." Below is some of Lori's work from my collection... she'll be handling the "fur"

"Working Dog"... He's a business card holder

"Francine"

I will be handling "fins."

Discus dessert plate

 The kids make "fish plates" in the pottery studio all the time... I'm so envious! I've decided to make some of my own. I'd like to have a large group of different fish plates and platters for the gallery walls. Some will be painted tableware, others more sculptural.

I love his bewildered expression.
