New California Studio pottery if you like Architectural AP pottery

I have just recently purchased a few pieces from the very talented and equally nice Darren Mock.
He is one of those people who is just really down to earth about both his knowledge and ability.
I love the lines of his pieces which have a strong AP bent. He has just started and etsy story so I guess that is the best way to contact him.

He also throws in some surprises like the blue vase in the bottom pic (awesome glaze) - ask him to tell you who he got his kiln from!




I actually have guards protecting this one
I think I need 2 more

What a great blue glaze

Here are a few pieces I have been making at ceramics.

Stupid stupid me did not grab this on ebay Espinet ,EshericK?




This incredible table was for sale as a "buy it now" on Ebay.   I did not snap it up and decided to think about it overnight as it was out of my usual $300 price range.  I am being discreet and not giving amounts... against my better judgement as I think discretion is highly overrated, and knowledge is better for everyone.  It was a bargain though... Can anyone tell me who it is by so I can torture myself just a bit more?

Mid century modern abstract ceramic tile think Harrison Stong

 This is  a fun piece with lovely colors that I found at Rosebowl. It has that etruscan/ heraldic thing that some  mid century stuff has the Ackermans liked a bit of that.

Evelyn Ackerman hooked tapestry

Wow I just bought and Ackerman tapestry (I think) for a really great price.  I would probably not  have spotted it all rolled up in a box if it had not been for this wonderful post from Mid Centuria http://www.midcenturia.com/2011/10/evelyn-ackerman-tapestries-ii.html
