| new work - july 2010 These are a few of the pieces that came out of July's cone 6 firings. The glaze on the first 12 pieces is my first personally created glaze. I call it "Cottonwood", based on the fact that the color, a dusty/silvery green, is the color of the leaves of the cottonwood trees that line the Cimarron River that runs just north of my studio. "Cottonwood" is a cone 6 glaze that can range from a bright butter yellow matte with iridescent silver-blue streaks to a varigated robin's egg blue, to a glossy mint with pearl colored crystals in it. The turquoise pieces in the bottom row are glazed with a variation of Pete Pinnell's Bronze glaze. This glaze can produce a full bodied turquoise with a background ranging from soft tan to a strong grey. I hope you enjoy the beauty and use of the pieces you choose, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. |
