West Point Grey/Summer work



These are some mugs and bowls that i've been working on at west point grey. It has been fun working mostly with their stock glazes and mixing in a few of my own as well.

while studio-sitting at Jasnart







I'm studio-sitting/shop-keeping part-time at a studio/shop on Granville Island while Jasna, the artist, is away on a residency. It is grrreat to have a space to work, and because the facilities are limited and different from what i'm used to, i find myself working quite differently - handbuilding and low firing. These are pendants.

RRR


I think tire swings are interesting.
Their purpose shifts drastically from car-part to toy.  
They are reminiscent of summers when we were 6 years old.  By making mini tire-swings and hanging them in public places i hope to make a few people smile.  
I've started with a couple of low traffic places, like this one here.  It is along a path at Jericho Park.  Eventually I will place them in different sorts of environments.
