New Work for First Friday Show at the Lake House

On Friday December 5th I am the featured artist at the First Friday event at the Lake House in Cedar Glen from 4 - 7 pm.  I am currently making a lot of new work for the event.  Below are some of the pieces I have been working on.  Come on out to see all the pieces completely finished and have a cocktail and hors d"oeuvres.

This is a large platter that I am working on. It is still on the wheel because I am pushing it down some more.  As you can see, I throw standing up.  I learned this from ceramicist Mark Shapiro in Massachusetts.  It is better for the back and you can use your body weight for leverage.

These are some large wavy serving dishes that I love to make.  I throw the sides, alter them, and then attach them to a slab bottom.  These are good to display things in, cook in, or serve in.

This is a set of espresso cups, my favorite beverage in the morning.

A set of bowls to make it look like an opening flower.

Some larger bowls with a contemporary asian influence.

A new larger serving boat design totally made out of slabs of clay.

Some mugs.  I like the balance of these after I put the handles near the bottom.  The handles feel good in the hand and the mugs are also very hard to tip over.

Cosmic colanders just drilled out.  These will also have a small shallow cup to catch the water.

Please check back to see more pieces in the works.........
