Crystalline Cabochons in Porcelain Clay with Jeweler Susan Stephen

Cabochons are uncut gems set in jewelery, I am already experimenting with the “gems” and Susan will be here July 8&9 to set them.

Jason had a great time at the NCECA clay conference this year making pinch pots with a Korean potter, he will be here in the afternoons on the 22-24 of August to make pinch pots with any visitors who would like to give it a try.

Working on my web site – Watch for my blog

I’ve been having some work done on my web site and you will see some changes soon. There will be big changes on my end in that I will be able to manage it myself and can make more frequent additions and updates. The look of my site won’t change, I’ve always liked that, but for the viewer there will be more pictures, it will be more up to date (especially the

I am hoping to have the new website active and be able to make posts to my blog from the NCECA (National Council on Education in the Ceramic Arts) conference: Mar 29 to Apr 2.
