ArtPots

These planters are the brand new item at VCG , and are being dubbed "ArtPots".

Really excited to see how these guys do when they go out into the world. Taking a break from "round", I'm really anxious to see how everyone likes them... hope they do well!

Open for Business!

It is my pleasure to announce that Vernon Creek Studio & Gallery is now open for the summer season!

We anxiously await the coming of the 2nd Annual Mount Horeb Area Spring Art Tour (June 6-8th).

Hope you have a chance to stop out!

Playin' with the Big Bowls!

These bowls are both fired to Cone 6 in oxidation... Trying out another new glaze on one (and a new firing schedule), and the other some old glazes with some new pizazz, hope you like em!

Mugs '07

Gotta love mugs... Gas Reduction Cone 10 on a porcelain body. This section is dedicated to my favorites, I'll post them as I fall in love with them...

Copper Zinc Crystals - Test Fire #1

The pieces you see here are glazed with a very special glaze originally formulated by the late Harding Black. This is my first set of firing tests using his Copper Red Zinc Crystalline glaze. These pieces were fired in a gas fired reduction kiln to Cone 10, the first of many tests to come!

Summer Woodfire '07

Here is some work that came out of the wood kiln this summer. Working with Randy Becker, we fire the wood kiln three times a year. Each firing requires weeks of preparation, about 2 cords of wood, and 36 hours of firing time until we reach Cone 10 holding the kiln at 2220 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours.
