Mixing it by Hand

I worked in the design industry for 40 years. During that time all handwork was replaced by the computer. Like and technology marched on. But I missed that tactile feeling of making with my hands. That is one reason that I love the fiber arts - cut, sew, touch - and now the same with clay!

Maybe it is the retro feelings of childhood mud pies, or fond and thankful memories of Don Hunt, my high school ceramics teacher, but either way I have been hooked. Three dimension work has never been my strong point, so I do struggle with that  a bit, but the equation of the serendipitous mixed with planning  that goes into hand building with clay is just right.

Below are some of the piece that I have made by combining several types of clay together. and used minimum glaze.
