About My Pottery
Clay is a wonderful medium but it has its quirks!
Lovingly Handmade
My pottery is lovingly made by hand, not by a machine. As a result, each pot is one-of-a-kind, unique, and special in its own way. Though they vary in shape, size, color, and symmetry, they all meet my personal standard of quality. I’m proud of every piece on this website.
Please note that glaze colors may be a bit different than seen on your computer screen as screen images vary from computer to computer. All of my work is food, dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. If used in an oven, put in a cold oven then begin to heat with contents.
Painted Designs
When I paint a piece that I have thrown, texture is added. This can cause the surface of the pot to change as the pot is being fired, going through the physical processes of melting, mixing, and solidifying again as it cools. This process can yield spots and divots in the finish. It’s not planned but not unexpected. The finished pot now has its own birthmark, so to speak.
My Blue Pots
The clay I use has specks of minerals in it which gives the finished piece extra speckles that add interest to the final glazed piece. The glossy blue glaze I use often reacts with these specks in the firing and cooling processes, causing small divots or pits to occur. Again, this is not planned but not unexpected. A lovely smooth, blue surface may have a divot or pit here or there. The finished blue pot also has its own birthmark.
