My favorite designs are ceramics in a copper color with one or two complimentary glaze tones.
I enjoy playing with glazes that run and drip and generate new colors when mixed with various base glazes. This works especially well with bowls where the runny glaze can pool for amazing effects.
This group includes Raku and high-fire glazes in metal and jewel tones.
These are hand-built pieces (not wheel-thrown) with textured designs added to slabs of clay before they’re shaped into forms. I use rollers, stamps and cookie molds to add texture.
Crystalline glazes include small bits of glass that melt during firing and blend with the glaze, creating awesome color effects.
These are hand-carved ceramics.
Pottery left partially unglazed for a terra cotta look.
I seldom work with solid, one even color, glazes. While these are available, my preference is for glazes that fire to an abundance of tones. Here are samples of the tones I often create. Others are possible, at clients’ request.
I’ll do anything you ask me to … well almost. ;)
I work to customer specs and in your choice of glaze or clay color. I’ve made sets of dinnerware, extra large bowls, pitchers, mugs, steins, French butter dishes, orchid planters, soap dishes, spoon rests, garlic graters, yea sets and bird baths.
If it doesn’t take a degree in rocket science, it’s likely I can. Here are samples of the vessels, forms and shapes I can build, either wheel-thrown or hand-built. The ‘photos’ section on my Facebook page is an archive of all of my ceramics.
