Announcement    I share my hand made pottery that is both decorative and functional hoping that it will be used often and will bring joy , a smile and a little bit of beauty to the user.


I hope you enjoy viewing my pottery. All of this pottery, porcelain or stoneware, is individually thrown, carved, altered and glazed by me. I fire my pottery in a gas kiln, in a reduction atmosphere to approximately 2200 degrees. The colors in the celadon, blue mist, burgundy red, blue-green and golden glazes that I use in my pottery are influenced largely by the reduction process.

GLAZES
My porcelain "painted" pots are made using using ceramic materials called stains and mixed with ingredients that make them "paintable". The design on every piece is individually created, one brush stroke at a time. Each porcelain piece is then covered with a clear glaze to preserve the design and make it food, oven, microwave and dishwasher safe.Many of my pieces take hours to complete.
With stoneware, I particularly like to use glazes that have a lot of depth and variety. Many of them provide variations based on temperature, where the piece is in the kiln, amount of reduction and thickness of the glaze. Consequently, no two pieces of pottery are exactly the same.

FUNCTIONAL
Each piece of pottery is food, oven, dishwasher, microwave safe and lead-free. If you have any questions regarding this pottery, please feel free to contact me.

SPECIAL REQUESTS
If you would like something specific and don't see it here, please let me know and I will post other pieces of pottery that you might find interesting. You can also make specific requests. I love a challenge. However, special requests should be made well in advance because the process of throwing, bisquing, glazing and firing a piece takes me at least 6-8 weeks depending upon where I am in the cycle when you make your request.
