After a lot of refining and studious work, I finished several unique new glazes this month. With them, I have been throwing porcelain instead of the brown stoneware clay. I’m loving the way the new glazes are reacting with it! The colors are more vibrant than ever.

We’re at a high point in experimentation success and expression.

As I write, Peggy is in her studio filling color in on pieces she wax decorated over the past few days. I’ve been making a lot of new pieces in preparation for our expansion in Studios on the Park.

The photo above is of two slab vessels I carved with geometric intertwinning imagery, along with new wheel thrown porcelin teapots, and a large porcelain covered jar.

The photo below is a group of bisque fired porcelain bottles and vessels waiting to be glazed. Tomorrow is glaze day and I plan to finish some of them. I am developing more new glazes for the porcelain and revisiting some of the combinations I loved in my past porcelain work.
