The demand to STOP WAR has been rebuffed by the administration,and
the horrors of WAR are inflicting great pain on the civilians
and soldiers of Iraq, the United States, and the rest of the world.
The WAR is also inflicting pain on the psyche of many studio
potters, and their response to the WAR might be expressed in their work.
Ironically, the inverse of STOP WAR spells RAW POTS.
RAW is certainly an apt description of WAR, and POTS are, of course, vessels for so many possibilities.
If you wish to share images and descriptions of your work that has been affected by the WAR, please join others
in doing so at the Studio Potter website.

This old warrior, multiplied in his fear and grief,
looks at the face of the oncoming war not believing that
something so sensless and devastating could be happening again.
This is a mixed media piece:ceramics and Photoshop.

Peace Cannon is the result of a "Team Machine" workshop at Connecticut Clay
Artists (CCA). If cannons couldn't shoot, their trajectories would be tied in
knots.

- "Operation Freedom"
Bottle with stopper, porcelain, fired in oxidation to cone 6. This pot "made itself", as the clay and the glazes directed me. I did not intend making this piece as a war statement, but that is what ended up happening. Another case of serendipity at work!!
