Having a little extra time on my hands, I am
still in the process of getting negatives and slides transferred to digital
images seeing moments of my pottery history unfold image by image. In a recent
group of slides, I came across some more wood fired pots, which I am guessing
date to about 1993-1995. I am not 100% sure were these were fired, but, at
least I am sure they were wood fired. Illustrated is a tall, hoso-mizusashi
style form that was thrown out of a rough Kentucky clay which I had dug and is approximately
12" tall to the knob. The hollow knob was thrown when the lid was thrown
and was a technique that Kirk Mangus used on many of his pots at Kent State
University. It is always interesting seeing old pots that I have made and
wondering where they are now and are they still being enjoyed. Some of my
pieces have made interesting travels; one piece bought in Cleveland, moved to
NYC, then Toronto, Australia and back home to Israel where it is today. There
are still hundreds and hundreds, possibly thousands of slides/ negatives to go
through, I wonder what other pieces I will see and if I even remember throwing
them!
