Stoneware Lily Sgraffito Vase $70

STARGAZER LILY VASE

Stoneware vase with a lily using the sgraffito process. Sgraffito is an ancient Japanese technique where porecelain clay is painted on the outside of stoneware clay with textured brushes. Tools are used to carve through the surface to create the delicate lily design, colorants are rubbed into the surface, and then glaze is applied to reveal a vibrant lily design. Vase is 8-9.5" tall.

Bud Vase $15

How many times have I seen a beautiful flower outside and hoped to bring it's beauty inside. A bud vase is a great solution...and way to bring nature into the home.

A look into the firing

Firing the kiln is an adventure in itself. It's like Christmas when the kiln is opened revealing a durable piece of pottery. The next firing will be the glaze firing and it is always a wonder to see what comes from the firing process. As I always say...Never get too attached until your piece is completely through the firing process. There are so many things that can happen.

Carved Spearmint Bowl SOLD

My eye is always drawn to contrasting textures, so I have been experimenting with throwing thicker forms and then carving away the surface. I'm thoroughly enjoying this technique.

Large Variegated Blue Vase $95

Realistically a vase with a small opening is ideal for holding a dozen roses or long stemmed flowers. Many vases have huge openings that would need many stems to fill them. This was made with the purpose of holding the dozen or so and making a statement in the center of your table. The handles seem to show that the pot has confidence and is strong.

Brushed Lily Serving Platter $40

A simple brush stroke can completely change the focal point of a piece. This serving platter's design is graceful and inviting. A spearmint glaze was used with red iron oxide painted on the surface.

Dotted Red Serving Bowl

Dotted Serving Bowl Sold

This piece was an experiment with texture....something I love. I'm actually working on using more in my work. I also love the contrast of matte versus shiny on the piece and how the piece seems to lift off of the foot as if it's standing on a pedestal.
