Samantha Henneke Yunomis AKAR Design

These five yunomis that I selected to send to AKAR are from the most recent group of drinking cups that I made this early spring.  I am exploring new ways to work with our flowing crystalline glazes to push their fluid characteristics, and still keep the glazes on the pot. I am drawn to the way these turned out and looking forward to creating more.

We are hard at work in the studio focusing on making pots and cycling them through for glazing. "Cousins in Clay" June 4&5 is coming up soon and we want to make sure we have fresh new pots for our visitors to choose from. Our calendar is packed full of invitational shows this year. We are super excited and in a very happy and active place in the studio right now. 

In the next post we will share Bruce's yunomi selections for the upcoming AKAR yunomi invitational show opening online on May 13.

 Stay tuned for a blog post introducing our clay cousins for this year's "Cousins in Clay" June 4&5.

I took pictures of these cups from multiple views. And it is fun to see that one side of the cup can be so different from the other. Especially the one below. You can see the multiple views on our Bruce Gholson and Samantha Henneke/Bulldog Pottery Facebook page.  While you are there like and follow are Bulldog Pottery page find out more about what we are up too.
