Collaborating With the Hands that Hold

Some people can do more with two handfuls of hours of curious exploration than others do in 10,000 hours of practice.

 

 

I happily stand next to one of the former. My studio partner has been playing with piecing together single serving teapots while graciously letting me have a crack at the surface with the paper stencil designs that are currently floating around the studio. 

 

Collaborating with Jess has gotten so commonplace here now that we have a chop to mark our work together and I'm finding myself preferring what we create together more than what I make alone.

 

I don't really have a problem with that...

Night Platter

Got a chance Saturday to shoot an over the shoulder look at an "up and coming" local talent.

Jessica Fong makes play look easy...

It's so much fun to have studio mates again!

Cutting a Foot Ring by Hand

Studio mate, Jessica Fong, let me shoot a quick demo of her approach to hand cutting a foot ring using a head loop tool and a banding wheel this week.

The result is a very elegant and striking foot.

Hopefully you'll be seeing more and more of this young talent over the next few months.
