Re-birth

After far too long of being away from my passion, 11 years to be exact, I'm trying to get back into pottery.  I won't bore you with the details why I haven't made anything in that amount of time.  Here are some pieces that have inspired me to get back into creating with clay.
I love the use of contrast between not only the colors but the textures on these pieces.  Both made by the same artist Blair Clemo.








I have a small studio space in my home, which includes: an electric wheel, a small electric kiln and a larger electric kiln.  I'd like to to get a larger gas fired kiln that I can fire in a reduction atmosphere. I will take photos and post soon.





Here are some pieces by artist Joe Benion which also helped to re-kindle the fire within.  Check out Horseshoe Mountain Pottery.
