Another pit firing...

 These pieces are burnished and then bisque fired. Then oxides are added and they are placed in the container you see in the photo above. Then wood, saw dust and whatever organic material we find goes in. It's lit, covered and left to burn. The whole process lasts about 10 hours.  

My first batch of maracas...

These high fired maracas were slab moulded were the result of collaborations with Shirley Emmerson (the tomato mould) and Raval de l'Art for their high fire kiln as well as advise from members of the Clay Buddies group on Facebook. These are just the beginning.

With oxides and the green ones are glazed.

Burnished

 Wondering what Elenware shakers sound like? Here's a short video so you can hear them.

Using traditional techniques

These pieces were thrown and hand built. When they were "leather dry" I burnished them using one of my favorite stones. Then I carved Native American inspired designs into them. Working with my old friend and first ceramics teacher in Spain, Teresa Marta Batalla,  we placed them in a metal container filled with wood. We added oxides and salts. Once the winds died down, it was lit and left to burn. The firing lasted about 10 hours.
This photo shows them fresh out of the "kiln". Once I clean them and add a layer of wax polish the colors will show up even better.

Ceramics and healing

Working with clay is a centering, mystical and transformative experience for me. All my pieces are made with loving reverence and they transform a part of Mother Earth into a vessel of love, nourishing each user's body and soul.

Hand-crafted ceramics bring me back to the Earth. When I touch, form and hold her, I feel her love nurturing us.

I often texture wheel-thrown and slab-built pieces with a variety of objects, most from nature, including a piece of coral I found in Maui, Hawaii. Some of the textured pieces feature my signature lizard design. As I texture each piece I infuse it with healing energy from my heart. My Sufi teacher first explained this idea to me many years ago and my work in Sat Nam Rasayan ® has made me more effective at it.
