Stoneware garden sculpture,hanging planters, planters with built in drainage, soap dishes, plates and mugs are on my studio shelves and listed in my shop here. Planters are a favorite item and gardeners are using them especially for their collections of cacti and succulents. I love to see pelargoniums in mine- both scented and rare ones with spectacular leaf markings.

You can see some of these plants in my listings. I like to get them from eclecticasia.etsy.com. who specialize in rare plants. Another companion shop to mine is songbirdsoaps.etsy.com ; perfect bars for my soap dishes and shaving mugs.

Off the beaten path, I look out my studio window at daffodills and scilla this spring. In the window a begonia is blooming in one of my hanging planters. My studio is bordered by woods and the patterns of the overlapping branches are an inspiration.

If you are purchasing a gift, I can include a card. I use clean, recycled materials and boxes whenever possible. I double box so rarely is there breakage. If you want insurance you may pay for it so please indicate that you do.

Horticulturists go back five generations in my family and I keep the tradition going in my own way.

To see my work in use go to the article by Michaela on her blog: http://www.thegardenerseden.com/?tag=virginia-wyoming-pottery
And of general interest Michaela has written a great article on container gardening on her Gardenerseden.com blog. She has featured more pieces recently, also.
One of my planter groups was also featured on the Garden Design Magazine Blog recently and the Nate Berkus show has purchased a piece for possible inclusion in an episode.

My CLAY ART for KITCHEN, WINDOWSILL AND GARDEN is created with stoneware clay and dinnerware safe glazes. Most are one of a kind pieces. Each one even when similar is made by hand separately.

DIET PLATES are small plates that are about the size of a bagel. Calling them that was the idea of my friend Barbara who advocates using smaller plates to made food portions look larger. One of the ways she shed 40 pounds. The small footed dessert cups are good, too.

The AWARENESS SERIES of vases in female forms range in size for indoor and outdoor use.

CROW SERIES - Sculptures for indoor or outdoor use. I use a special clay for both these series that holds up to winter freezing and thawing as long as objects are not filled with water. I am beginning a new series as most of the crows are already in gardens from Henderson, North Carolina, west to LA and North to Putney, Vermont.

My work also appears at vermontcrafts.com on the web.

I would be glad to quote shipping prices to other countries. This has to be done individually and with the Post Office as it is difficult to make estimates.

I you live within 30 miles of Putney, Vt. delivery or pickup can be arranged to save postage costs.
