Ceramics by Cathy Gee

I'm afraid I've not spent any time recently posting anything new.  I have a backlog of finished pendants and bowls to   photograph so I can post them, this hasn't happend, due to the weather :)  Any canadian reading this will understand.  We have such a long winter here, that when we finally get the first couple of days above freezing we go a bit crazy - like coming out of hibernation.

I've been getting house maintenance stuff done that has been neglected over the last two years.  That said, I'm ready to get back to work.

When I get them back, I'll be posting some things I've thrown on the wheel - be kind, I've got a long way to go at throwing, but I'm not giving up on it.

I'll also be picking  up a few more handbuilt items, as well, about 18 new pendants.  Some of which you can see above in their green state.  I think I'm becoming more sure in my lines and it feels good.  I'm thinking more about negative and positive space, and the weight of my lines.  I think I'm getting a bit less fussy,  which is working for me.  I look back on some pendants I glazed even only a couple of months ago, and think to myself....Jeez, its like I really didn't know when to stop!  I'm also trying to pay attention to drawing images that are effective up close, but also have impact when seen from a distance.

I thought I'd add in here a link to one of my favorite ceramic artists, Diana Fayt - she draws such a beautiful and delicate line, and I really admire her approach to glazes.  I really can't say enough.  Please go and look at her stuff.  As well, she's featured in the latest Ceramics Monthly Magazine.
