For those of you who have just joined in over the past year, you may not know that I made salt glazed stoneware for a number of years.I found this picture of my booth from the American Craft Council show on my camera card just now. It's from a few years ago.
I love the warmness of these pots and the variation of the surfaces. I'm going to be firing my salt kiln in a few weeks. That will be fun. I have missed stacking a bigger kiln.
That said, I have found a part of myself in this work I am making now that I had been repressing for many years. I feel like switching gears, making new work, gave me the freedom just to let go and be myself. I think these earthenware pots are certainly going to keep developing. As are the drawings. And the surfaces. I am feeling really happy with what I'm doing. More so than I have in many years.
