I've been working on teapots:

 

And tweaked my Shell Bowl - 
making holes in it for air circulation and for easy rinsing, voila:
the Shell Fruit Bowl!

Spouted Mixing Bowl Set:

And wood-fired pots:
bud vases

tea cups


 Firing the wood-gas kiln at Dark Horse Pottery 
with Joel Magen and Drake Bialecki:


Five years working together, me and Drake as apprentices, Joel teaching us.  And now Drake is moving on to apprentice at the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, UK!  
Congratulations Drake!

Heartfelt thanks to Joel for sharing your knowledge and experience as a potter, and keeping pottery apprenticeships alive!
