Elk, Aspen Forest, Mountains and Hawk

Elk are the predominate wildlife theme in
Rocky Mountain National Park
Elk "Chip & Dip" Bowl: 12.25" diameter and 2.75" high
We will be showing at the Grand Lake Arts and Crafts Festival, on the western edge of the Park, presents July 9-10, 2017
SHOW HOURS: Saturday, 10:00 AM-5:00 PM and Sunday, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM We will be bringing a fine selection of Elk-themed pieces: platters and serving pieces as well as pie plates and mugs and steins; also elegant fruit baskets made of strong, washable stoneware clay. Note: This link:  Table of Contents    will help you find specific items of our work on previous posts.
Here I show you the slip-painting process of the large, wall-hanging serving piece that I call a "Chip & Dip," one brushstroke at a time.

The following is the side view, showing the open curved foot. See the face of the final fired piece at the top of this page.
