Bunny head! not even a bunny.

A slab built piece from@a recent firing, cone 10R, slab built, chunky feldspar, course sand, multiple glazes. 17” tall.

Two sides of a soda fired pitcher. A good example of the directional aspect of an atmospheric firing.

Studio, done for today, a small amount of the work done.

I recently installed this piece at a patrons home with a very nice contemporary art collection. It’s nice to be in such company.

This large sectioned stoneware pot will be on display tomorrow at Cuzick Pottery along with many other pieces we are a part of the San Diego Pottery Tour, December 6-7, 9:00-4:00. We are studio #1 of 17 studios all a part of the Tour. Look SDpotterytour.com for map and more information.

Look at this woman, so good and beautiful in heart soul. My wife Mary, in the pottery studio.

This is what the inside of a pugmill looks like. The blades, an auger, push the clay through the shredder, the disk with holes in it. After passing through the shredder the air is pulled out of the clay by a vacuum pump and then the clay continues on through the barrel of the pugmill (the barrel fits over all of those blades) and the clay continues on being compressed by a narrowing chamber and comes out ready to bag for later use. This is also what I look like after fifty years of making pots for a living. Still smiling and happy to be doing what I do. Thanks to Frank Mearns for helping with the job of cleaning out the pugmill and taking the photo. So the song, “Happy to be Here” is apropos. As Paul Soldner would say “keep on getting dirty”.

Stoneware piece with additions. Still in the greenware state, I’ll post after it’s fired.

A few greenware pieces with this spiky thing I’m working on.

Ceramic, paint and string wall sculpture, 22”. I’m intriguing figurative, abstraction and surrealism into this piece. Color from what I call “room temperature glaze”.

A collection of teapots, most yet to be glazed.
