StoneFlowerPottery & Tin

Wellsville, New York

Top shop for gifts.

A buyer bought a gift from this shop and gave it a 5-star review!

Announcement    As a recovering pottery, I ran toward tin. Clay was great but heavy and dirty while tin presented rainbows, sometimes literally. I made wall sculpture from re-purposed candy and cookie tins using the designs on the cans as found. The scraps from the work became earrings, often in related but unmatched pairs.

Tin cans, actually tin coated steel that is painted, is always open to change. It is light, an increasingly valuable attribute as I face 70, and always versatile.

I'll always be a potter in my heart and my hands will never forget clay but I'm lucky to have the time and opportunity to work now with tin and found objects. I'm learning to think in tin shapes. I think in images, no words needed.

My earrings are light weight and feature titanium or niobium ear wires. These two metals are used for surgical implants because the pure metals do not cause allergic reactions. The natural metal is gray but if subjected to an electric current, the metal turns blue, green, purple, bronze or gold.
