Ceramic Sculpture Sketching Finishing Building …is both my favorite stage of the work and the most stressful. It’s here that the real character of the work will be defined. After the forms and details are worked out, I’ll need to consider the finishes and stages of firing, all while trying not to have cracks and […]
Getting out my Old Standard 420 clay and will begin a new “Sanctity” with more well worked cathedral forms. This should be fun. The initial version of sanctity sits vigil over our home and is a very peaceful figure.

Went out sketching on Sunday night at Cocoa Cinnamon cafe and finalize some of the details around this work. Still need to attach a head of course, and the detailing on this could take a week, but now that […]

Working on researching in the background as well. Started a texture and color sample sheet and started reading my Slips book . May […]
