| Raku horsehair pots are fired quickly
to 1200F degrees and are then taken out of a Raku kiln and
placed on a noncombustible surface. Hair from a horse's tail or
mane is then laid upon the hot pottery... |
These vessels are handbuilt from
slabs of clay and then fired in an old technique that resembles
components of a style developed by Japan's Raku family of
potters in Kyoto... |
These vessels are decorated with
Ancient Chinese Characters. Out of more than 80,000 symbols in
the Chinese language, I chose to use on my pieces 14 that I find
represent important aspects of life... |
These necklaces and pins are made by
using slabs of clay that are cut out into various forms... |
Although given the nature of pottery
all of my items are truly one-of-a-kind pieces (no two are
exactly alike), there is something different about these
items. Many of them are exploratory in nature... |
