Work in progress-Jordan

 I am having fun with this one. I am playing with Lana Wilson's slip carving technique and trying to tweak it into my own thing. What do you see?

More New Work from the Cartogram Series

Tunisia

Libya

Iran Unlocked

Iraq

  I took down the Ruby's show on Monday and photographed these pieces on Wed.  I love my photographer!

New work in progress- Kuwait

I have been working on this cartogram construction for the past few days.  I am experimenting with Lana Wilson's hand-building and slip carving techniques.  Fun stuff.
  ****Update on this piece.... It blew up in the bisque.  I will be remaking it better than the original.  Lesson of the day-be careful bisquing in the test kiln!

Workshop with Lana Wilson

I did a workshop today with Lana Wilson at 4th and Clay.  These are just a few of the pieces she did during the full day workshop.  I love that slip carving technique on the bowl.  I will definitely try that one and the others as well.  Her website is http://lwilso2.otherpeoplespixels.com/home.html check it out!

New work in progress

This is a plate for the Plates and Totems show coming up.  I am using the Keraflex porcelain again and enjoying it.  I hope it survives the firings!

Work in progress-drawings

Egypt

Iraq

These are contextual drawing for my Ruby's show.  I am having fun doing them. They seem so much easier than clay.
  I had a kiln melt down this week and I am traumatized.  Maybe I should become a mixed media artist?
