New Ceramic Items



I'm been playing around with some new techniques and items. Some are quite fun. I'm posting some pictures. One is called a jarhead or a jughead. They were used for scaring kids away from stills in the mountains. They are kind of scary looking!

The other picture is of some crystals I designed. Simply a piece of art, no function. There's always a raging debate amongst potters about form and function. I'm starting to lean more towards form. Function requires so much perfection and you should be able to duplicate it successfully. I'm not really there yet. But form is always different and hopefully beautiful. Well, can't say beautiful about the jughead, but it certainly is different! Hope you enjoy the pictures.
