During a recent heart-to-heart with Ehren Tool we discussed my two majors: Ancient Near Eastern Civilizations (Egyptology) and Ceramics and why there is not more of a crossover between the two. I've been putting some thought and research into this and have decided to explore a new avenue in my work. Although I have greatly improved my skills in building, throwing and glaze techniques in the last few years, Ehren is right. With my background in Egyptian history, art and politics and with the recent political turmoil I really should be doing more to bring the two together. Soon to come will be images of the first wave of this work, in progress. I feel this will be a source of years of material and I hope that it will prove to spread awareness about this great and historic country.
