Once the fields are filled with wildflowers, I can’t wait to use them in my pottery.  Summer is such a joy.  The landscape is rich with possibilities.

Here is a series I have been working on using white stoneware, fired at a lower temperature with oxides applied in the firing to enhance the textures.  I think the inspiration for these pots come from my years of walking the beach in search of shells.

I like to make these basic pinch pots with rims in a variety of colors and textures.  I call them my “everything” bowls, because that is how you can use them.  Great with cereal, ice cream, blueberries, soup, your favorite button collection, pennies, jewelry, paper clips, everything!

Raku is one of my favorite ways of firing.  The pots are pulled hot from the kiln (about 1800 degrees), put into a reduction chamber (garbage can) with combustible materials, and then into water.  The process has many variables, but the results from a day of firing can be very satisfying.

I love making these white votives.  Each one beautiful on its own, or in a series they make quite a statement.  Perfect for a summer evening.

Simple, yet distinctive.  These are made with high-fired stoneware, using food-safe glazes.  Use them for soups, salsa, dips, whatever works, or as a special piece of pottery to enjoy in your home.

The long winter months are over and the firing of new work is just beginning.

Take a look at these new pieces from my “earth forms” series.

At last the flowers are blooming, the vegetable garden is almost in, and winter has become a distant memory. New energy is flowing from my studio producing new colors and styles. Take a look and let me know what you think.
