Teapots

Playing with my teapot handles a bit.

In progress shot.

Two sculptures three pots and a pig on my table today.

Goddard gallery show [hubfest]

Here is a quick shot from the show I'm in at Goddards gallery.

Project of the day

Building Pedistals for a show downtown.

Cutting is done. Now the construction begins.

FYI you can get two Pedistals from a four by eight sheet of plywood if they are 35 x 13 with minimum waste.

Slip casting project

This is my first go at making a sculpture from a slip cast object, in this case a spray can.

I'm actually lookng forward to making another. It was quick and enjoyable.

Rejected piece

This is the only piece I had not make it into the student show. It's not my favorite but I still find it interesting.

I'm playing with skinny feet. It's interestingly awkward in my opinion. I'm not sure about it yet. These pots are doomed to be composed with anyway.

Today work

I made sculptures out of the pots I threw yesterday. Its a pretty satisfying start. I need a few days to work out the finished pieces though.

Slabs contrasting thrown forms. (thrown forms consisting of pots and enclosed forms)

Something that interest me

Pots where the spout and base are the same width and having a bulbous shape in the middle. This is something I think I'm going to start playing with again.

Little brother account

Due to the wonders of technology I can only update a blog with a gmail account on my phone.  So how my main blog has a little brother that is sure to provide you with many random bits. My other account will still have all my organized post. I expect this one to be interesting since I can upload what im working on at any given moment.

Enjoy
