Clay in the Studio

I have a new project under construction - I'm working on an idea using some of the gravestone press molds that I took from cemeteries in Texas and Key West several years ago. This is one of those inspirations that sprang up almost ready-made. More about that later, but working with clay feels just like coming back to  drawing did - natural and instinctive. I'm using a Longhorn Red clay body and firing to cone 05. I even have kiln time lined up with Inspire Art Center. Stay tuned - if this works out, you'll see another dimension of my work on Etsy, debuting on July 21 in the Art Showcase.I'm excited!!
