Blog Cards 2 Column
Thanks for visiting my site. I have recently decided to rebuild the websites I created and maintained for quite some time. The first rebuild was Claystation.com. That site has been updated with a more modern look and the latest tech which makes it run more smoothly. There is still much work to do on it to get all the content back up on it.
Next is this site. My andyclift.com site used to run on Tumblr, now, I moved it to WordPress like the rest of my websites. The old site was more or less a blog with some of my portfolio on it. Now, this site will be updated with an extensive creative portfolio of all the important creative projects, that I have worked on during my adult life. It will be challenging and in many ways, it might be like writing an autobiography.
In some areas of this site, you will see that it is a work in progress. This update will take some time so please be patient. I am mainly focused on getting my Ceramics portfolio on here, and will try to get much of that up before the end of 2022.
Check back soon to see the progress.
Matiilija Poppy Bud Plate On Sale now for $125.00 at the Art-A-Fair in Laguna Beach.
This is an example of my latest endeavor, hand-built porcelain serving plates. Each plate is completely unique. Typically I brush a porcelain slip in a pattern on each surface. The piece is then bisque fired and then glazed and fired again.
Additionally, I place a ceramic decal on each piece. The decals are created from my photography. Backgrounds are removed, and alterations to the photograph are done in Photoshop and then they are printed using ceramic pigments. The decal is fired on to the surface and becomes part of the glaze making the plates fully functional.

One of my inspirations, even though my work looks nothing like his. Hope to own one of his works someday. Rest in Peace Stephen De Stabler.
