BRAND FIRE Show at MHCC Visual Arts Gallery

From now till September 2nd my one woman show is up at the Mt. Hood Community College Visual Arts Gallery. The Reception night is August 4th from 5:30pm-9pm.

I'm really excited to be showing this body of work and hope you have a chance to check it out. There is so much to see by looking closely at the surfaces. The postcard is a nod to that idea of moving in and looking at all the atmospheric firing creates of the surface of my work. There are ash drips, crystal formations, ash peppering, blushing and traces of the flames.

Mt. Hood Community College Gresham Campus is located at:

26000 SE Stark St
Gresham, Oregon 97030

Fired up!

It seems like the last few months have just flown by. Now that it's fall it's time to fire kilns on a regular basis. October was the kick off to the firing season with the big event of Soulgama in Brush Prairie, WA. This was an amazing firing with terrific people and when we opened the kiln two weeks later we discovered outstanding results. I'll have pictures soon. Then this weekend was a much anticipated, but not entirely prepared for soda firing at MHCC with a couple good friends. We will open the kiln tomorrow and see how we did. Then on Wednesday another anagama firing in the minigama at MHCC. This firing is based on a visit by a Japanese artist named Nobu. Then it's back to preparing for another Soda firing and firing my own kiln, The Chicken Pot Pie, in December. O' the Joy!!!!
