Day 2 of the Native: form and content workshop in San Diego. She works in earthenware, thrown, when leatherhard, forms are dipped in white slip, then sgraffito drawing animals around the form. Then stencils used to layout complex images, which are then sgraffito'd through the slip. Then latex is used to mask of area so color maybe applied. She then single fires them.
Her imagery is of animals raised for food. Inspired by Michael Pollard's book The Omnivores Dilemma.

Cups are thrown evenly so only trimmed at the base. When leatherhard, he rolls the cup to flare the bottom width, then dips the cup in white slip upside down. The cup is coated inside and out without coating the bottom by dipping it up to the base then quickly raising the cup rim to the bucket level of slip then pushing down wards to just below the level of the base.
He then paints areas of color with speedball underglazes, then adds black lines with amaco black underglazes, then black underglazes pencil, then scratching thru the underglazes a with a steel etching needle. All decoration done on bisque, fired to cone 04. Clear glaze applied then fired to cone 1. Then decals applied then fired to cone 014. Then lusters applied and fired to cone 019.
His imagery is similar to Ralph Steadman. Drawn from life experiences.
