Good afternoon everyone! I am new to Mastadon and prefer the tusk to the musk. I am an artist who works primarily in clay and specialize in raku pottery and explore mythology and nature in my work. Some of my other interests include:

The pot pictured below is one of my favourite pit fired pieces of pottery. .

Pit firing is the original method for firing clay pots and dates back 30,000 years. Colouration comes from combustible materials that are burned. As these materials burn, vapours are released. Hot pots, still porous take the colour.

I do a pit firing once a year and I love feeling connected to the dawn of my chosen craft.

Part of what inspires my work is a deep connection with the wonders of nature and this amazing world we live on.

Working with the earth, literally, through clay, deepens my connection, wonder and peace with this interconnectedness.

We are one with the Earth, so let's take good care of it, and each other.

In Greek mythology, a little owl represents or accompanies Athena and has become known as a symbol of knowledge and wisdom attesting to the staying power of the Olympians. The whispers of Athena's legacy are everywhere.

The symbology of the owl has often inspired my own journey. The ability to see through the darkness of life and find knowledge is a potent totem.

@Gargron you're one of the good guys! After being off social media for awhile, I found Mastodon and you built something kinder and better.
