While there are still bears.
Just two covered jars drying in a sunny studio space at District Clay Center.
A covered bowl with stylized leaf handle to grip. The Laura’s green glaze looks a little black when fired higher in the gas kiln. The inside is shiny red.
With a fish handle and piscatorial message of advice inside.
Raw clay handle, otherwise glazed in blue-green outside and celadon inside. Handwritten script.

One jar with two lids. Why? You want the finished piece to have the best elements in combination. If I made one lid, or one handle for a jar or mug, what are the chances that that one would fit or be proportional? Make an extra (or two, or three). In this case I just finished both lids, bear and bird.
The green pot and lid have Pinnell’s Red Orange inside.

This covered jar/bowl is seven inches tall at the shoulders, standing on an eight-inch broad frozen sea.
Detail of its precarious footing.

These pieces in greenware are ready for the bisque kiln. They are a pouring bowl, a small lidded pitcher, a lidded jar, two ewers and a human hand.
At this stage, all hope for the future of firing, glazing and firing again still prevails.

This is a detail of the woven clay pattern. I think when I first made a woven pot, I had not seen this trick before. In fact, several experienced potters, teachers, have had to ask how I did it. I will show, but I will not tell.
The deep blue jar has a nicely fitting lid.
The inside of the jar and the lid are glazed in red.
