The gallery Fabienne is referring to is the Ramsden Morrison on fourth St.
In addition to the clay instruments, the almost life size sculpture of Dan
Corbin was featured there. Amazing work. The female figures [or at least
one of them] had an open place on the upper thigh into which bottles of nail
polish, lipsticks, etc were placed, and then covered with clear resin so
they could be seen. The figures reminded one of ancient Egyptian art work,
and were extremely beautiful. I think he is a major artist.
I want to thank Jon Singer for his great tea bowl I acquired at the mug
exchange. It is a gracefully shaped black celedon. Lovely.
I had a wonderful time getting to know some people better, meeting others
for the first time. I felt the warmth of so many individuals meeting as
strangers, instantly becoming friends. We all commented on that. NCECA is
a family. Clayart is a family too.
I was so lucky to have Fabienne as a room mate. Full of fun and humor,
Marta as a buddy, Mel as an inspiration, and I better end now. I have tea
bowls in the studio ready to trim. With love and gratitude Rikki in
Berkeley

I have a formular for a black celedon. It uses Iron for the colorant [my
apologies to people who actually know something about glaze formulation] and
not slip,such as Albany as in Temmuko The reason I think this is a black
celedon is it doesn't break a lighter brown. It is uniform. Maybe Jon can
tell us. Glaze guru, I am not. Rikki

Perhaps then Celadon isn't the best descriptor, It's my understanding
that the very thing that makes a celadon a celadon is the breaking over
edges and carving that you say this glaze doesn't have.
Not being critical, I know that it is hard ti describe in words visual
things. To me celadons work great over carving and texture because they
pool in the low areas and are darker, and the glaze is lighter on the
highlights, giving a three dimensional quality to design work. It
sounds like this glaze might not do that.

Black Celidon is the name of a glaze this resembles.
