The Pottery: New Work

Saggar firings: I continue to explore the possibilities of saggar firing, the process by which unglazed pots are wrapped in dried leaves and put in the kiln in individual boxes.

Tea Bowls and House: Ever since I went to Northern Ghana in 2007, I've been trying to capture the colors and textures of the painted houses on the pots. With these teabowls, I'm getting closer. The decorated house on the left is in Tiebele, Burkina Faso.

The Little Birds make lovely pouring vessels. It wasn't until after I made them that I realized they remind me of a building in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Fasso. One of the delightful things about Ouaga are the decorative elements on the architecture.
