I love learning about where and how you were forged as an artist. Your history along with the influences from good friends (who are also artists) and your mentors/teachers will always come through in your art. It's like a bubbling cauldron of creative potential that incorporates how you use your own tools. Love the photos. ;)

thank you @rebeccaryan! I like your metaphor of a bubbling cauldron of creative potential - so true
I wonder if the making of your own kiln and fire will be something that is always taught...I hope so, because although outcomes can be unpredictable, the element of surprise when you open the kiln after firing, must be like opening a very unique gift.
The craft of kiln making is alive and well! There's been a resurgence in the past few years - a sort of back to earth movement that parallels the DIY movement. Although, even an electric kiln has loads of unpredictable outcomes.....frankly control is tricky!
Hahaha! You're not kidding! Control is tricky.
