Thank-you for checking into my blogspot.

I make functional pottery on a potters wheel or slab roller.  I am currently working with a Cone 6  porcelain  clay body from Archie Bray in Helena.  My designs  are carved into colored slips and fired with a high glossy glaze in an electric kiln.

The Design Process

After a piece  is thrown on a potters wheel, I paint a thick layer of colored slip over the entire white clay body.  My designs and motifs are carved thru this slip.  A glossy glaze is applied over the slip design and fired to 2200 degrees faranheit.

Christmas Orders 2009

  To those who have been wondering about "special orders" for this coming Christmas...
        
   I'm sorry to say that I can't take any special orders now because I'm busy getting my inventory made for all my galleries. Please stroll down to bottom of my blog page for a list of galleries that represent me.  They should  all  be able to send you photos and work with you over the internet. I will send a new selection of my work to all my galleries around middle  or end of November.

   Please feel free to e-mail if you have any comments or questions.  Thank-you......
