Works in Utero!

Steadily, these most recent commissions come along, ready to bisque and then off into the world (my how they grow up so fast, it seems just yesterday they were sticky amorphous blobs on the wheel...sob)

The mugs are a custom creation for the lovely new Cradle space at Thorne's and two wedding bowls for some very lucky couples.

The hen and rooster motif on Abby & Mike's bowl stems from a story of the wedding ring having been hidden in the couple's chicken coop, it's a nice opportunity to do something more whimsical.

And the bowl for Karen & Lucian is yet more proof that if i just yield to the forms of the given names, the compositions emerge all on their own. These two names were done justice by a tall and narrow setting and repeated a second time to fill the space and create a pleasant abstracting texture.

Thanks everyone for the unique challenges, I can't wait to see them in full color!
