Residency Statement:

The Beverly Area Art Alliance, and Nicky’s, has graciously invited me to use the Nicky’s garage/gallery space for some community building clay events. 

I’d like to use this opportunity to experiment with new/old (to me) firing  processes. 

In college, I caught the RAKU firing bug! It’s an exciting process to watch and be a part of, and the results are stunning. I haven’t done this in a while and would like to give it a try again. 

I’d also like to try Soda Firing. I’ve never done this, but referring to my past….I’ll give it the old college try! Soda firings are very atmospheric and juicy! Runny glazes and carbon trapping which really show off form, shape, and texture. Lets see if i can pull it off?!!!... 

I’d also like to try some large format works and alternate firings.

All to say, I’d like to use this opportunity to branch out from my norm a little bit and try some new things i’ve been thinkin’ about! 

See ya around the hood, or on the internets. 

-Dan
