This morning is my first adventure into posting on my new blog. Really I'm considering this a photo gallery of pottery and wood-firing, but let's see where things go. I may enjoy this more then I think. I hope this will be a place that friends, family and friends I haven't met yet, can come and see the work I've been doing, maybe check out any shows or sales I have coming up and learn about the fantastic art of wood-fire and wood kilns.
I just participated in Painting with Fire the special exhibit at the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts. The two pieces above were in that show. The pitcher is a great example of "spotted dog". This is one of the lucky results of wood-fire when crystals form on the surface. This baby is loaded with them. The bottles I call Three Cheers. They have some lovely flame marks, blushing and natural ash glaze.
