In mid September, I was pleased to be visited by a return customer who had bought a one of a kind greenman mask years ago when FCS was a still a brick and mortar store.
That was before everyone and his parakeet had a digital camera. Once I had a pic of it for eBay, but gods know what happened to that file. So I was grateful to know it was still in one piece and being enjoyed, and to have a photo of it where it's living now:
The image doesn't do it or the colors justice. Whilst a low fire piece(these days pieces are almost exclusively mid range stoneware), it is very strong and a bit large; almost a couple feet at it's longest point, if my memory is correct. At the time I was using a smaller kiln and had in a fit of creativity sculpted the piece far too large for the shelves. It needed to be fired upright, against a stack of halve shelves.
While it all turned out well, ever since I'm careful to avoid the same mistake!
