Artist of the Month

Here's my pottery displayed in the guild gallery, Artworks in Hiawassee, for artist of the month. The small table to the right holds a grouping of my botanical themed pottery with similar glazes. My maple leaf wall tiles look a bit dwarfed next to the larger paintings to the right but for ceramic tile they are actually quite large (about 9 x 12 inches). Of course I'm already thinking I want to make larger tiles. I've already sold two pieces since the committee set up my pottery. (Displays are arranged according to space allotted and guild guidelines).

Meanwhile I loaded a bisque when I got home last evening (mostly large leaf plates and ornaments) and I'm firing over night. If I had any more locations which carried my pottery, I'm not sure I could keep up and also have enough pottery supplies for the farmer's market. This winter I plan to tally my best sellers and increase inventory for next year. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

Oh My, Oh My

The three pots in daylight, you can see the glaze colors much better here.

So very happy with this firing. These three vessels exceeded my expectations. This ribbon vessel is about 11 x 6.5 x 5 inches. Click on the photos to make them larger and see more detail.

This one is about 9 x 8 x 5 inches. Oh my, oh my, the glazes developed such luscious colors on these pieces. You may recall I experimented with several overlapping glazes.

This vessel is about 10 x 5 x 4 inches; about 8 inches around the middle (not sure how to state the measurements). More photos from this firing later.

Finished my wall tile hanging mechanism yesterday which need to set up for 24 hours without moving them. More work left to do because I'm artist of the month at Artworks in October. Gary will take a photo of me in my studio to accompany the bio I just finished typing. Now I must get more pottery ready to take to the gallery on Tuesday.
