It has proved to be a very fun media to work in. It’s also a great avenue to work out imagery that can later be translated to pots. I will be framing some of the original clayboards for sale and have designed a line of cards that will be ready "for market" next week. Here are some of my favorite drawings.

I have a busy week ahead. I am working on glazing this weekend and will fire on Sunday. I am planning a post next week that shows a series of salad bowls from start to finish. Saturday, June 13th is my first show of the season, Walk In The Woods Art Fair from 10 to 4pm in St. Germain Wisconsin. Our busy summer schedules have kicked in... even if summer weather hasn't.

those would look great in sgraffito
Amy, those are beautiful board drawings. You truly excel and have a gift for scraffito type work. How are you transferring the images onto cards. I ask because I do photographic cards and print them myself, but always wondered if I could get them done by someone in bulk.
Hi Linda,
I just scanned the clayboards as grayscale tiffs. Then I layed them out as cards in a Quark document with my logo, etc. on the back. I am a graphic designer so this part is all a no-brainer to me. I work with a local printer on all kinds of projects for our art shows. He printed them on white card stock using a high quality laser printer. He cut them down and scored the fold. I picked them up today. They turned out well. There are lots of places you could get your cards done. Check out printingforless.com. I have heard good things about them.
Thanks for the info Amy, I really appreciate it. Your work is truly wondeful and I like to see you are branching out into other venues to sell some of your art and drawings.
