I assigned my friend, Karin with picking out the inspiration
word for my independent study in ceramics. She came up with some good ones but
the word ‘presence’ resonated the best with me.
Creating a piece inspired by a
word was challenging but the following project was the result. There are ten projects in all. I hope you enjoy these projects over the next ten months as I am taking a break from clay.

Handprint
Bowl. American Indians announced their
presence by painting their hands then putting their hand prints on rock walls.
As I child, I made paper turkeys out of the outline of my hands. As an adult, I
combined both techniques and used the outline of my hand to create my hand
prints on rock (i.e. stoneware) to announce my presence.
Please note that these pictures were taken by Clark Linehan, who did an amazing job with this piece and others.
