Mr Autumn


Mr. Autumn is the first sculpture that I’ve made with clay. One day I had the desire to do a little sculpting and this is the final outcome. It’s always nice to take those first few pictures of my work and then compare them with my work as I get better. Mr. Autumn was created this past fall and I engraved his name “Mr. Autumn” on the back.

I still don’t know what direction I’m going when it comes to pottery. I can get lost in throwing on the wheel, handbuilding, sculpture and even a little bit of interest in tile making. I still feel like an infant who wants to learn to run before they can walk! I would love to know which direction to go, but as other artists tell me…“Debbie, you need to keep trying new things and one day it will come to you.” There are so many facets to pottery other than just the piece itself. Where will I go? The Lord only knows at this time. Pottery is the medium I love and that’s all I need to know right now.
