This picture just came in. It’s one of my catalogue images used as a top on a small table.

Here’s a backsplash featuring a stream in the fall. It didn’t all fit in one photo.

This is a tile I made in my recent workshop at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT. It’s an icon of St. Spiridon, the patron saint of potters. The face I tried to make look like Pete Voulkos. Not sure how successful that was, but I hope he’ll watch over the Bray. Teaching there was a real treat for me, since the first workshop I ever attended was there in 1969, so this was a real “full-circle” moment for me.

I finally got to eat at this new restaurant in Seattle. Great food and my sign looks great in the dining room.

This little piece is going off to a kitchen in Poulsbo. It’s an image from my Shop page that I’ve done a number of times.

This piece just got installed this week. It's a scene of ReflectionLake at Mt. Rainier. This was an unusual piece for me these days, in that it was cone 5 glazes, not china paint. It was done for a client who had me do 5 cone 5 landscape pieces for her many years ago, who has now moved. It’s on 4 1/4” tiles and there are probably 25 or so different glazes used here. Each color is a different glaze.

I’ll be having my annual studio sale July 22-24, 10 am - 5 pm. Come on by! Here’s a preview.

The great blue heron continues to be the most requested bird for tile murals, all over the country. This one just found a home in Virginia. It’s china paint on commercial tile. You can learn how I do this at my upcoming workshop at Plinth Gallery in Denver, or at www.TeachinArt.com.

Every year since about 2006, I've done a single 8x8 tile for Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley, WA. They have a contest among the seniors to design a tile for their class. They are all on permanent display in the lobby. Here's this year's. I'll be covering all the techniques and materials I used here in my workshop July 15-17 in Denver at Plinth Gallery.

I guess our Northwest seafood is popular everywhere. This little backsplash muralist went off to Tennessee.
