Wooden tub with a man at his best - the fence panels have not been glazed, inside the rub is water covering certain parts of the man. On the side we have a man's best toys - a tyre, a few empty beer cans and a shoe. The sign says "no fishing" this guy needs help but looks like he is enjoying himself wouldnt you say. The clay is used in stonewear - the figure & water and pieces are glazed. Painted with underglazes.

This piece was made from my own design, using the hand form techinque - Pictures coming from my head and then sculturing them. This was entered in the Sydney Royal Easter Show Last year 2005. It's a extremely hard show to get your pieces in and be accepted. To have this piece excepted in was a great honor. Thousands of people flock to the show each year. This was done in Raku white clay, and done in undeglaze powder and glazed in a clear.

This is one of my Vases - I did them on the Wheel - Now i'm not the best Wheel thrower but I cant help bringing my handbuilding into it after the shape is formed. It's surprising what a sand block can do to bring a different form to life.
This Clay I used was Raku, fired Stoneware glazes - shea White and Cystal Blue

Thank you for viewing my pieces - I'd love feedback as only one can learn from this.
I'm considering in selling pieces soon, but as hand former knows pieces take a lot longer to make then thrown on the wheel.
As soon as I have my webpage up and running I'll let you all know.
