The culmination of almost 3 years of graduate research and experimentation at the University of Florida will be emerging from the kiln early next week. Some trays, stands and display furniture will be finished shortly after. Amazingly all of this will be ready for the opening reception at Charlie Cummings Gallery on April 4th.

The details are on the images above. Please feel free to share them, or contact me to join my email list or give me your mailing address and I’ll send you an invitation.

If you’re close enough to make the trip to Gainesville, please stop by.

Mash-Up

I am finishing an independent study in the architecture department. It is nice to find a kinship regarding function with another field and to see a new perspective on planning, using space and light, and considering materials.

These liquor sets are the culmination of the pottery-architecture mash-up that has been happening in my studio recently. The stands are slipcast earthenware and the bottles, cups, and utensils are cone 3 red clay.
