Soup Bowl #2

Here is the second soup bowl -- I like this combination much better than the last one. The contrast between the darker blue and the orange is kind of cool (though in this picture the orange seems brighter than it is in person...the next one is closer to the actual color):


And on the inside, the burnt orange color looks like a sunset. The only thing I'm not sure about are the random dark pockets in the glaze - there is something chemically there that I can't explain. I still think it looks pretty cool though:

Teardrop Dish #2

Here's another little penny dish. The glaze combination is similar to the I posted with the flower dish earlier, so you get the same ice blue runs!
Here is a view from the side. I really like how this one turned out:

Ying Yang Platter #4

This is the latest in the Ying Yang series. Everyone in the studio was raving about it, and I must say I am incredibly happy with the results:

When my mother saw this over the weekend, she convinced me to give it to her. She's planning on giving it to a family friend as a birthday gift, and since I like the friend, I agreed. Here's a close up of the glaze:

Wave Platter #1

This platter is sort of oval-shaped, and I got this idea to try to make some glaze combinations that would look like waves on the inside. This one turned out pretty well - the shadows are nice and deep:


Here's a close up of the colors. Ideally this would make a good fruit or vegetable bowl I think.

Medium Bowl #2

This bowl is sort of interesting for a lot of reasons. First, the outside shape is kind of cool and the footring turned out well:


And then there's the pink and black glaze, which looks even cooler on the inside:

Medium Bowl #1

This is a medium sized serving bowl I made for my mother for Mother's Day. My mother has so much of my pottery, she now commissions bowls because they are the most functional:


The glaze turned out really neat on this one I think - tans, blues and pinks with just a touch of black at the rim. Here's the inside shot head on:

Teardrop Dish #1

Sometimes when I have little pieces of clay left over from making the large platters, I like to make small penny/trinket dishes. Here's one that turned out very summery:


Another side view - the colors are a little truer to the actual in this image. Guess the first one the camera settings were a little off:

Temple Rest

This is a hand built piece inspired by Japanese temple gates:


This shot shows the inside glaze color of the basin:



Small Bowl #1

Here is a picture of a small oval bowl I made:


I sort of like how the glaze runs on this one:

Ying Yang Platter #1

This is part of a series I'm working on - here's a full shot:


and a close up to see the colors better:

Welcome

Welcome to the Potter's Corner - a blog dedicated to my art. I plan to post pictures here as new pieces become available. Please bear with me - it's hard to take pictures of pottery! I'll try to do it justice the best I can.
