Souvenirs of an education

Three ceramic pieces given to me by three of my teachers in the 1970's:

Nature’s Hand

Curious stones, found locally.

Slipcasting Plates

In early 2021, the editor of Ceramics Monthly [“The premier ceramic arts magazine since 1953”] came across this page, about slipcasting plates, and invited me to expand it into an article for the magazine. The article appears in the November 2021 issue, in print and on line.
