Early days...
I got this idea from a post that Michael did a few days ago. The first mask was from the seventh grade. The second is a Raku mask I made in high school and lastly something I made at Guilford College under the watchful eye of Charlie Tefft. I had just come back from a trip down to Athens GA to see Ron Meyers. I haven't done a face in a long time.

What a great progression. Thanks for posting these.
I'm curious, would you like to be doing more sculptural work? Wesley mentioned to me the other day that I had not been doing any sculpture and that's what I mostly did until I got my wheel. I have been trying to think of a way to incorporate some of the things I used to do in my wheel work and your post gave me some inspiration to follow my wise child's advise. I've done a lot of masks with my kids classes and they always love doing them. Enjoyed seeing these........
Thanks Jerry for checking in...
Tracey, I don't really have a desire right now to do the sculptural thing. Maybe down the road but its hard for me to think about doing something else right now. On second thought I think that I might enjoy making a mask or two. I don't think that I want to incorporate them into any thrown form though. I doubt ill do it because there are only so many hours in the day....Happy Friday!
The oval dish with a face turned out great. Your pots are growing in leaps and bounds. That's an awful lot of work to be proud of. Congratulations and all the best to you!
