Leaf prints

I've started a new series of plates and platters, and I'm testing leaf imprinting, highlighted with faience engobe.


Just transparent glaze and black slip:

These are geranium leaves that grow in our pottery workshop

Other people's pots and stuff

We do buy from other potters, actually I can't grasp how you can copy someone else's ceramics. It's just technically impossible. Someone else's hands, clay, glaze and firing, this combination is so unique each time, that I have trouble reproducing even my own creations. So when I see pottery I like, of course I buy it.
Plates by Martine and Claude NOREK:

That green is back

Since people were asking about it, I've redone quite a number of pieces in that bluish green that was my favourite three years ago. Well, as colors go, it portrays my mood nowdays: stormy blue and green.
