Jack is Back!

Josh McCurdy treats us each Halloween season with his fabulous jack o' lanterns.

A Jack begins as a wheel thrown sphere.

Then Josh carves extraordinary faces.

Next, the Jacks are stained and prepared for firing.

And here you go.  

Josh brought a group of his amazing Jack O'Lanterns into the gallery on Monday.  Stop by soon to see them!
