These were a lot of fun to make.  Sometimes when I’m building,

I leave the lines that the clay gives me in the work.

It adds to the uniqueness of the piece.

I’m working so that each one of my pots are different.

I have these vases in a variety of sizes, prices start at $50.00.

Email if you’re interested.

Something new. . . found a new glaze that I really liked because

of it’s creamy quality and then thought it would be fun to make a series

of small vases in varying sizes.

Prices range depending on overall size from $35.00 to $50.00.

Recently added new work to the studio.  For the holidays and keeping with a

winter theme, I have been using a motif of pine boughs for  the imprint on this work.

Vase is $95.00.  Bowls come in varying sizes, $35.00 for the smaller one and $70.00

for the largest of the sizes.  All work is high fired stoneware using food safe glazes,

microwave and dishwasher safe.  If you’re interested in any of these pieces, contact

me via email and I’ll have them ready to be sent in time for the holidays.

Happy to be participating  in the 40th anniversary of  Monmouth Festival of the Arts, Tinton Falls, NJ.

Opening reception April 17, exhibition through April 21, 2010.

Here is just a sampling of some of the work that I’ll  be showing.  If you are in the area, be sure to stop by to say hello.

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.
