Here are some highlights from the new pottery. These items are already listed at my ETSY shop.
This week I am hard at work, to fill the kiln one more time, before I have to put my ceramic work away, and begin some other painting projects for January.

Hello readers of this blog.
As you can see from the previous post, its been a few years since I updated. However, I still refer clients and friends to the large selection of of my work that is contained in this blog, from when I did keep it up.
It seems a shame to let it languish, so I will make the effort now to post from time to time, maybe even frequently. Stay tuned!!!! Here is some recent ceramic work of mine to look at:

Pottery Projects Finally Get Going

As I mentioned some months ago, I have a large variety of pottery projects planned since December. Finally I am able to get around to them!

I have been looking forward to this work. I love painting the pottery, mainly because its so exciting to fire and see what comes out, hopefully something planned for.

This bowl is one of several to match the bowl in the photos, painted by me some time ago for a client.
The teapot is a variation on a previous teapot, (you can search 'teapot' in this blog and maybe find the one I mean)
The butter dish is being painted to exactly match the one shown in the foreground.

These are little tapas/snack plates for a set of 12.

They will have a bright green background when fired.

The faithful Bomba is always there to help me with my pottery.

........................................

Well, no he's not. This is his table most of the time, when I am busy in the other studio, he gets the whole place to himself. I have to negotiate the space with him now. He looks resigned to it. I am too.

Just a little more pottery....?

This is a specially comissioned teapot, and will also be matched by a set of bowls later, probably in March when I get back to more pottery work I was particularly happy with the way the dragonflies turned out. I didnt want them to be heavy or "scientifically" real looking.

They are just stylised enough, and very expressive.

The colours on the teapot give it a vintage, 19th Century look I really like.
.........................

To fill up the kiln when I fired the cat tiles and the teapot, I painted a few large pieces and a handful more mugs with some rather exciting results.....

I love the graphic feel the colours and the thick enamel look of the glazing give these mugs.

This big jar was particularly fun to paint, and I am very happy how it turned out.

Its actually quite large, well, bulky anyhow...the pictures here make it look small. (?)

This platter is a commissioned piece, and is actually too large to fit into my kiln, its 18" long, I think. I will get it fired somewhere else.

When fired, the colours will look a lot like this bowl...

That is the end of a very very long pottery painting season.

.........................

Now I have floorcloth and fabric projects...however, when those are completed I will be doing more pottery, probably in March....as the winter pottery frenzy spawned more commissions! Hurrah!

More Pottery....

Come to ATOMIC HOLIDAY BAZAAR, December 14th, Sarasota Municipal Auditorium to see and purchase this pottery!
