Hi all - I'm relatively new to the Clayart thread (been around for a week or so)
and have posted a few photos to flickr at the following address:

If there are any other folks out there experimenting with the combination of
stoneware and letterpress type surface decoration, drop me a line.
Cheers, pba.

Hi Clayarters,
I just sent two photos to the Flickr site. One is of a burned horsehair
vessel and the other is of the mosaic made from 20 years of shards at my
old pottery. The owner of the Cycling Salamander had a resident artist
at the gallery all summer, running classes in various arts and crafts
with visiting crafts persons doing the workshops. She also had the
project of sorting through the pile of shards that I had made while we
had my studio there. She created this beautiful mosaic and they had an
unveiling with a special ceremony the end of September along with a show
of all the arts and crafts that were created during the summer. I held
my "trash can" firing workshop there the end of August with an eager
group of potters from the area. http://www.cyclingsalamander.com/ The
new owners are doing me proud with their new gallery. They even keep
most of the five acres in back of the showroom mowed so that visitors
can see the very large contemporary sculptures placed around the area in
their sculpture garden and pond.
It is a rewarding site to see the mosaic in the old courtyard of my
shop. I often would send kids out to the shard pile to pick up a
memento of their visit while the parents shopped for one of my creations
inside. These kids have grown up with kids of their own and they often
tell me the stories of their search in the shard pile when they were
kids and the joy they felt when they found something recognizable and
not too destroyed.
Be sure to check out the new pictures on Flickr.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/clayart Holly, you are doing a wonderful
service to have this site and so tastefully done as well.
Warm regards,
