Just added some more pots to my Spring 2009 Gallery, fresh out of the kiln this week. More henna boxes, some serving bowls, mini-plates, and vases both new and augmented. I had a couple pieces I wasn’t so crazy about, and a delightful thing about this process is you can always add more ink and [...]

OK, here’s a couple quick posts I’ve been meaning to make. At you in short order…

As mentioned on my “Process” page, I have just started developing and testing new colored inks for drawing with. I broke them out for an invitation to make some evil clown shot glasses for a circus themed show at Alcove Gallery just around the corner. The results were very exciting and I can’t wait to [...]

….just in time for NCECA. Thank you for visiting the site and I hope you enjoy the information and images. I’ll be using this site as my personal artist information site and eventually have work for sale here.

Thanks for visiting. I’m working on a big re-do of Haagensen.net, please bear with me!
