Chris Gustin Workshop

Last weekend, Jan 24 and 25, I went to a two day workshop given by the famous potter Chris Gustin.  He is world renown, but is the most unassuming and helpful person you will ever meet.  I learned so much, my head is buzzing.  I am hoping to incorporate some of what I learned, into my next sculptural ceramic journey pieces.  We also saw a slideshow and many of his pieces displayed at the Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta, FL  I went with a new friend and fellow potter, Beth.  We had a weekend to remember ;)  Below are a few of Chris Gustin's works and a photo of him at the workshop.

 

New Resolution for 2014

New website, http://www.stonewarepottery.net/index.html , new banners on etsy, www.etsy.com/shop/PatsPottery , new banner on this Blog, and a new resolution to post at least once in a while:>)

Been really busy with custom orders, but have found time to  work on my new Journey Pieces.  They can be seen here: http://www.stonewarepottery.net/sculptural.html .  Something in a new direction, and I am very excited about the way they are turning out.  Been working with cone 6 stoneware and my electric kiln, but just started back to my college classes at BC and will be using cone 10, in a gas reduction kiln.  Will see where that leads me.  Here is a preview;
