ceramics and bronze

This site will slowly be populated with more ceramic work as I continue to explore the clay. There is a fair bit of the history of my bronze work in following pages.

 Bronze Casting courses 2018

July 23 - 27. Join me in lovely Haliburton for a 5 day course where you will learn to cast beautiful bronze artifacts using simple materials. We're in a lovely setting, with great folks, learning something that seems impossible. Details here.
