Been prolific lately in the studio and trying some new decorating techniques. I can't seem to settle on one path that I like when it comes to ceramics. I'm always trying something new. There is just such a huge learning curve when it comes to clay and so many ways to go. I haven't found the path I love the most. I enjoy the wheel and hand building and alternate both as I feel inspiration.

I recently made a large fish platter and left it on the mould too long so it cracked. I've spent countless hours fixing it with paper clay and finally had it bisque fired knowing it would crack again, which it did. I've been sealing the cracks with paper clay and plan to glaze and fire it. I am determined after all the work I've put into this piece that it will survive, even if it is only in my kitchen.
