Jan,
Did You make this piece. It is beautiful. I paint canvas and have wanted to work with pottery.

Mrs. Georgia,
This is a piece that is 10 inches high and 5 to 7 inches across depending your point of view. I did this in Advanced ceramics class this past spring, it is a wheel thrown piece. The clay feels alive in my hands and usually makes the shape it wants to be. I used Red high fire clay, with a translucent white glaze on the outside and red Khaki glaze on the inside and dripped down on the outside as I emptied the extra glaze from inside. Then it was fired in a gas reduction kiln which turned the red glaze green on the outside, but remained red inside. That was a happy accident. My pieces make them selves...I just provide the hands.
It is great when you can feel the art come to life in your hands. Isn't it remarkable that we have not have much time together but in the end we enjoy much of the same things.

Mrs. Georgia,
Time comes full circle every now and then, usually when you least expect it. I remember hunting the chickens eggs with you way back a lifetime ago. We were not very old, it was the summer you stepped on a nail.
