I'm liking the organic look to the faceting -almost appears like Bamboo. Makes me want to see the shapes stacked...

YIKES! Perhaps some type of thermal shock -especially if they were outer pieces?

I agree with your observations and thoughts. I was also thinking that Scott's handle has a "bird-like" quality in the handle as a lovely "tail" thats both graceful and utilitarian. Proportions are key and making handles that are more tail-like than tongue shaped are perhaps more aesthetic(?)

Hmmm, not that instant feeling of wow. Looks a bit too Mayan or Inca and in need of some heavy sgraffito...

I love the photos! This post is worth a second read as well as looking further into the references and additional resources. thanks. Interesting to be reminded that all artists at some point feel the need to express their individuality.

Funny how life can get in the way! I think you and Brandon's clay planets are aligned with regard to the Blog-spere!

I'd climb a mountain to win one of your pieces! Sadly, I couldn't even come in 20th place ;o)

Lovely images. The honey locust looks positively medieval! The melting patches of snow shapes remind me of lost continents and the goldenrod leaves have inspired me...

I think it's all the Art Appreciation classes Brandon is teaching now that's giving him his smarts ;o)

Brandon should be totally off the hook because my first thought it was a celadon raku ash tray...

There have been some posts by potters of "pots in use" and they are a wonderful reminder of what happens AFTER the studio! Beautiful bowl.

STEVE GODFREY's work is fab, his use of new birds is beautiful. PLUS he's from my 'hood here in Anchorage ALASKA! Thanks for recognizing one of our favorite clay artists.

Funny how even our artmaking is fashion and style sensitive! At first glance I just thought you were going for a more Grecian look to the jar. Works depending on what part of the world we live in I think! I enjoyed reading everyones take on the jar. Sure there are some design rules of thumb out there but the final fitting really comes down to a gut instinct doesn't it?!

The professionalism of your booth is wonderful and your pottery is even better. It's great to see such care given to display your work. The booth does your work justice. You've inspired to me re-examine my booth for an upcoming show...

*LOL, that is such a FUNNY term "lid lifters!" hahaha! At a few of the outdoor shows I'v done a friend calls the looky-lous' "Corndoggers!"
