After a few years in Fitzwilliam Depot, I was feeling a need to create a new body of work. It didn’t work financially for our partnership for me to stop earning much money for 6-12 months. So, we left. My parents asked if we wanted to stay with them for awhile. My dad asked me to help him finish the basement. We could setup a temporary studio in their garage. We accepted their offer. In Michigan, we began to work in electric kilns for the first time. Cone 10 oxidation. I gave up making Flameware and focused on Porcelain. I wish I had more photos. These are early explorations.
