tile mural in progress

Working on piping glaze in our giant mural that is going above our fireplace... inspired by Rookwood, Over the Rhine, Indian tapestries, and the Garden of Earthly Delights (definitely a long-standing favorite). We are getting close here.

heros

We are printing up a storm at Rookwood - and by we I mean Terence Hammonds (collaborator and master printer). For the main panels in our fireplace (progress pics coming soon) we decided to celebrate our ceramic heros. Above, Josiah Wedgwood - who was a potter, abolitionist, and worked with colored slips and unglazed porcelain way before it was cool.
