Years ago I had the absolute pleasure of working with Joel Fink - he is an amazing ceramic artist and I took a course from him creating this time consuming, picky PICKY box. I did not enjoy the process as precision is not my forte..... but, I must admit, that I am pleased that I made something as 'perfect' as this.

I then went on to work for Joel, only for a very short time, in order to acquire some studio time. I made a lot of glazes for him, tested the glazes .... and we created with clay, I actually made my first few masks of any significance in his studio, and we did quite a bit of raku firing.... which is always a total thrill ..... this piece is raku fired.
