Kickin' back

With my Onggi and Carved porcelain workshop at Taos Clay just around
the corner and an Anagama firing on June 18th, things have gotten a
bit busier around the studio. It's been great to get back to the
Onggi wheel, something really great about the pace and feel of a kick
wheel. I always think of something my friend Scott Roberts says
about using a kick wheel; "it's nice to be able to actually hear the
clay passing over the rib without the hum of an electric motor", a
small detail but somehow it really adds to the overall experience and
makes for a more relaxed (if this word can be used to describe Onggi-
making) time in the studio.

Recent work...

Fired in Scott Parady's Anagama, January 2010

Good Culture!

A recent batch of personal sized Onggi fermentation jars. With our
first date at the Durango Farmer's Market rapidly approaching (May
15th) I've been making work with a bit more of a practical,
functional and food related use. With all the amazing farmers
offering up their beautiful produce I thought it only made sense to
make some pieces to store and ferment it in. As for practicality,
I decided to make these Onggi jars a bit smaller, 3/4 gallon,
perfect for trying new recipes. I'm really looking forward to
seeing these forms put to use for their original purpose!

Moon Byeong Sik, gettin' it DONE!!

Here is another installment in my YouTube pottery video series, and one

of my personal favorites. Moon Byeong Sik is SO skilled with all things

clay. Also, for all of you going to NCECA, keep an eye out for him, last I

heard he was planning on giving a workshop along with an exhibition at

this years conference. I'll see if I can find more details and will post what I

find here.

Enjoy the video and please rate and/or leave a comment.

Thanks!

WOW!

We decided to make a new kind of kimchi this time!

T-Ride!

Looking forward to the next workshop/exhibition in one of my favorite spots on this planet, Telluride, CO! I will be teaching a 2 day Onggi workshop Saturday and Sunday, March 6 & 7 from 10am-2pm at the Ah Haa School for the Arts and will have a selection of new Anagama woodfired work, from my recent trip to Scott Parady's kiln in NorCal, as well as some of my carved porcelain pieces on display from March 4th through April 9th. Opening reception for the show is on Thursday, March 4th from 5 to 8pm. Hope to see you there!
