of man and beast. . .

Well, the little lady with the cone, was a kiln goddess Kevin made. He also made the horse, out of a mixture of Cassius black and p (paper) clay.

The horse reminds me of something one might dig up from an archeology site, and the little goddes, well she's just special. For a man with no training, I think Kevin does some wonderful work. I'll be posting some of his whimsy stuff soon!

A nice little vegetable server

This was from the last glost fire, about two weeks ago when my brother was here. This is a server that Kevin made, and I glazed. I really like this dish, and especially the glazes, vanilla and Waterfall Brown (from Ron Roy and John Hesselberth).
It's hard to see in this pic, but the rim of the dish has some lovely red/brown spotting before breaking to this greenish colour over the white. I've made a LOT of these - bowls, mugs and some pourers. I'll try and get Kein to take some pics, he's pretty hand with a camera.
