Birds order on a Wire

Dimensions:
H 4" x L 5" x 3.75" Holds 14 oz.

Function:

All my pottery is glazed with non toxic, food safe glazes. These pieces can be put in the microwave and dishwasher, but for longevity this one of a kind piece is hand made and not indestructible, so thoughtful use is suggested.

Process:

Each piece is individually created and I use a combination of hand building and throwing. Stamps are used to create texture. Once I have completed the construction process I apply underglaze transfers, fire them at a lower temperature and then add the order dark background colors. Fire again, then start the process of painting on the glazes with all the different colors. It may take up to 8 hours to complete each mug. Then they go in the kiln for their final firing at a higher temperature to melt the glazes, forming that high gloss.


Me :)

I am a one person small business working in my home studio. I love what I do and I put a lot of love into each piece. They take many hours of work and thoughtful craftsmanship to create. These are truly one of a kind pieces. I may use the same imagery or colors on pieces, but no two will ever be quite the same. I am striving to bring new ideas- with imagery and texture- from a very old and beautiful tradition. I love the outcome when the balance between the tactile textures and the smoothness of the piece comes together. I hope you will too. There is a satisfying dialogue that happens without language when you use a hand made piece of pottery.
