There has been a lot of good blogger info on photographing pots lately… I am still working out the kinks myself, and I hope by the time I take pictures of all the pots I like from firing # 8 that I will have figured it out. Still more glare than I’d like sometimes and I need to learn about depth of field. Still, I used to pay professionals a lot of money for poorer results than this!
I had quite a few small sculptures in this firing. I’ve been making these small stacked forms for 35 years but I’ve always resisted the obvious…of course they are figures, but why make it too easy? Now that I’ve carved all these cool stamps for the Bartmann bottles I couldn’t resist. They are maybe 8″ tall and now I want to make a whole herd of them…
I have no real explanation for these next few and the best I can do is describe them as folk art, but perhaps that sounds a little too self-conscious? I see them as models for big garden birdbaths, even though I might not get around to making the big’un.
I’ve never deciphered the marketing game for my non-functional work. I don’t even have the clever titles I need to promote them. Any suggestions?
