Now that has to be one of the best and most interesting posts that you have ever done Go-go. As an artist, getting an insight into another artist's process is always so much more intersting than just seeing the finished piece, or nearly finished piece. And I'm sure it's more interesting and entertaining to the layperson as well. You used some wrong terms in your description, such as using "molded" when the proper term would be "casted" and sometimes "sculpted" or "re-sculpted" would be more accurate as "modified", but that's just a matter of terminology. Ceramics can be a very tricky process and so many things can go wrong along the way. By explaining your process, I think more people can appreciate the amount of work and skill that goes into making an "assemblage" like you are doing. And then glazing is the final step, which even that is a a skill unto itself, because the wrong glaze or unproperly applied glaze can ruin a finished piece, and you and Dani do a superb job of glazing. Keep up the good work.
