Hi all! Great News!!

 I have been juried into the Chatham Artists Guild!!   I want to thank the Artists Guild for inviting me to join and Gerald Dukes for doing such a great job photographing my pottery! Here's Gerald's phone number if you want to have your art photographed by a professional! 919-444-9199. 

Here are a couple of examples of Gerald's photografic abilities! The first photo is a two piece pot with black underglaze hand painted design. The size is 17.5X6.25X6.25 inches. Price on the vase is $125. The bottom photo is of three little Cosmic Piggies. Left to Right are Big Swamp Double Tail, Mr. Leather and Mr. Cool Daddy with shades and dreadlocks. Sizes are 5.5X5.25X6.25; 4.75X4X6; and 4.25X4.25X5.25 inches. Hope you like them! All these Cosmic Piggies have sold: however, more will be made and will be available for $35. You can see more of my art at the Joyful Jewel in downtown Pittsboro NC.


 

Hi All- I haven't been on my blog for a while due to a knee replacement!! See the picture above. I am still recovering. Lots of physical therapy and stationary bike riding, stretching and walking. The feeling I have every morning is that a tight band has been placed around my leg and it does not feel like it will bend. However, with the physical therapy etc mentioned above I am able to get moving. In fact I have started making some pots !! Send me some comments if you like the scar!!

Royal Sonic Princess Chicken III $Negotiable

Opened the kiln this morning and saw a wonderful site!! Royal Sonic  Chickens and Halloween Goblins!!! Hope you like them!! Here are some photos for your veiwing!! The Royal Sonic Princess got into a scuffule with her brother the Royal Sonic Prince. As a consequence she lost some feathers !!! So her value is negotiable. The other members of the Royal Sonic Family are $125 each. The Halloween Goblins are $3 each. I had a prior order for the Royal Sonic King and Queen III so those are marked SOLD in the photos. Contact me if you want to order any of the pottery shown in my blog. Please remember that original ceramic pottery takes time to make so give me time to make you the piece you want!!

Outdoor Demonstration

Hello All! Had a great morning and early afternoon doing a demo for the Joyful Jewel! I also had the pleasure of the company of Orlan Johnson of the Chapel Hill Wood Turners Club who was also doing the demo for the Joyful Jewel! While I made some pots Orlan was busy making tops and wine stopper bodies. Mariah Wheeler, proprietor of the Joyful Jewel was kind enough to take some pictures which I have added for your enjoyment! Hope you find them interesting.
