High fired ceramic Oars are part of the Sailmaker series. I am exploring with glazes and other organic materials to achieve an entropic, corrosive look while maintaining the elegance of the piece. Still juxtaposing primitive with contemporary and aiming at giving the sculptures an archaeological appearance.

Clay Chair
I posted the video on how to make clay bamboo. The new post will be on how to make a clay chair. Here it is with clay draped and sculpted over a stuccoed armature. Next, I will cut clay into tiles, bisque and glaze them, and then thin set the tiles back onto the stuccoed armature. As soon as I can have the video I will post it. It may take 3 weeks to complete.
Here is the image of the chair today after cutting the draped clay into tiles.
This is a picture of the stuccoed armature for the chair above
Tiles ready for glazing
Glazing tiles, almost to the end. In about four days I’ll be able to put it all together.
