Studying a peach is like studying a wood fired pot. The flame gently wraps around the clay in the kiln recording its path. The variations in tone around each soft peach is so inviting. (Is your mouth watering?) These flame licked peaches are nestled on top of a wood and soda fired bark plate of mine. By the way, a sign of a good peach is when the juice drips and reaches down to your elbow!
Well, I'm off to pick blueberries!

I thought I would let you know that I have been inspired by all the pottery blogs. I created my own. Thanks for the inspiration.
Other potters inspired me to start this blog and I really enjoy clarifying my thoughts in this way. What's your blog?
First off: Thanks for your comments on my blog. Nice to know someone out there is reading it.
Second: I love these square plates/platters you're making. Any chance of growing some larger ones? Woodfiring really brings out the texture, especially in the lip/rim detailing.
Nice work and wonderful blog. Love the non-clay photos too! Just shows that there really is something about photography that balances our work in clay.
cheers!
