I've been inspired by the pottery decoration of Archie McCall over the past week. I couldn't find many examples of his work online but I did find a few video clips of him teaching a seminar. Pretty amazing to see his stuff in a book, read his bio and then see him in action online.

My time at the guild has been pretty meager since I've been working more but I do have some new pieces that I'm really happy with. The favorites are a set of mugs with matching creamer & sugar bowl in a brown/denim kind of glaze. Pictures might be added eventually. The guild was clearing out a few boxes of low-fire underglazes & glazes so I took home the ones that didn't have lead and were usable on food surfaces. I also have a line on some *free* low-fire clay so I think I know what direction I'm headed for a while. I like the price, we'll see how I like the process. When I get to it.
