I got out of the office again today and taught a Raku and Obvara Firing workshop at the Forsyth County Art Honors Day! #lagrangecollege #lcartanddesign #pottery #raku #obvara

I had a busy couple of days representing LaGrange College at the National Art Honors Society GA conference at the University of West Georgia and the Georgia High School Ceramic Arts Awards and Symposium at the University of North Georgia! #clay #ceramics #art #artschool

Here are a few in-progress pieces I’m slowly finishing. These will be tiles that slide on tracks. Between home life with two small kids and teaching/Dept. Chair duties, sometimes I am forced to take long breaks in my studio practice. #clay #ceramics #wip #ceramictiles #ceramicsculpture

Thank you for putting this together!

Occasionally I make pots and small wall studies. #clay #ceramics #ceramicart #pottery #pottersofbluesky #pattern

A few more interactive pieces. Some with text screens and another with kinetic parts. Most are programmed and hooked up to arduino boards to make them function. #clay #ceramics #ceramicart #ceramicsculpture #contemporaryceramics #interactiveart #kineticart

Here is another past kinetic ceramic sculpture. This is clunky little barrel cam mechanism. I’ve always liked the challenge of figuring out how things can move through space while factoring in shrinkage. #clay #ceramics #ceramicart #ceramicsculpture #contemporaryceramics #interactiveart #kineticart

They can! I’ll post other work soon that has motors, text screens and various electronic components that can be turned on via buttons and switches too.

A couple more sliding wall tiles from last year #clay #ceramics #ceramicart #ceramicsculpture
