Beautiful, durable, functional art.
Handmade ceramic stoneware, inspired by mother nature and a bit of humor.
About me- I work out of my home studio on my hobby farm in upstate New York, where I live with my husband and 2 girls. Iām a nature and animal lover, beekeeper, and proud mom.
My Process- Hand-built and wheel-thrown pieces are altered, sculpted, carved, and carefully dried. Pieces then undergo the first firing (bisque), to convert the clay to ceramic for durability, still allowing porosity for the glazing process. Underglazes and glazes are applied by hand using various techniques including dipping and brushwork. Pieces are then fired a second time at a higher temperature to convert the glaze to glass and vitrify the clay for food safety. Glazes are all non-toxic, lead-free, and food safe, made from powdered minerals, silica(sand), and water.
Pieces are fired in an efficient electric kiln, and I use compostable and/or recycled shipping materials.
