Thanks Alex! I’m getting into the habit of keeping my little camera with me so I can keep up with the blog!

Hi Joan,
Thanks for your feedback. I did use natural light and it seems to work best in the north room of my house on an overcast day, in the morning between 8:30 and noon. I also bought one of those backgrounds that go from white to black because I couldn’t get the gradation that I wanted on a solid background. Right now I am borrowing a good camera from a friend…it is a Nikon D50. I tried using my little digital camera, but it didn’t work for me. You don’t have to spend that much on a tripod though, a decent one runs for about $20. I know some people who use light boxes too and they seem to work well. I think it all depends on what you have to work with.
Good luck!

I think the photos are crisp and look true to colour. I am struggling to get a light box together for which I used the very helpful plans from John Glick’s. Did you use natural light for these pictures and did you have to get yourself a good (expensive) camera and tripod?

Not too shabby at all! I think I can judge all the pieces well enough to know if I want to buy one. And that’s the point, right?

This is extremely well written. I especially like the way your surroundings find their way into your work, along with your voice; very poetic.

Hello, i am doing a project where i have to write an essay on a ceramics artist and i would like to choose you because im very interested by your art, is there any way i could get a backround of your life? the questions i need to answer are:
When you were born
What your family is like
When did you first start making art
How did you become an artist
Who influenced you or inspired you
What media do you use
If you can get back to me as soon as possible that would be greatly appreciated
