I use two different white clay bodies to produce functional pottery. I make most of my work on the potters wheel but I also do some hand-building. I enjoy making simple yet elegant pieces.
Hand Built Functional Pottery of Michigan Top Quality Stoneware created for safe, daily use. Each Piece is individually made and fired in professional kilns for a total of 60 hours. Unique Clay Art.
Wheel thrown and hand sculpted forms inspired by the oceans reef Heavy color and texture are used to bring each design to life. Crushed glass and sprayed glazes imbue each creation with fluid movement
Mostly nonfunctional stoneware clay depicting modern themes. Originally developed designs, glaze formulations and firing techniques unique to my 25 years of studio work.....
Hand-built stoneware, primarily slabs and some extruded works. Layered glazes highlight textures and impressions. Each piece brings nature together with clean and contemporary design.
My work is slip cast porcelain that is decorated with inlaid slip, various colorful glazes, handmade decals, and some are adorned with gold luster. Glaze fired to cone 7.
With a limited palette of black and white, I use textural form and graceful line to create a harmonious collection of ceramics consisting of the functional, and the purely aesthetic.
I work with brown and white clays mid-fire clays for indoor and outdoor pieces. The majority of my work is handbuilt with some additional wheel-thrown pieces. All of the pieces are fired to cone 6.
Ceramic wall tiles, sculpture and pottery are made using hand building techniques. Raku and cone 6 oxidation firing techniques are used. Some pieces are assembled incorporating wood and copper coil.
I create wheel thrown ceramics with stoneware clay. I sometimes carve and add slip trailed details to pieces. My work is fired to 2232F, and is sometimes fired a third time for gold luster details.
My work is wheel thrown, carved, hand painted and one of a kind. Each piece is designed as I carve it. I also use live flowers from my garden on the functional and decorative pieces.
All original designs. Glass is hand cut and kiln fired. Many pieces take multiple firings. After firing many pieces are embellished with beads or buttons. Designs are very whimsical.
Using the same methods as the Old Masters of Glass€, works of art are created that are both pleasing to the eye yet serve a functional purpose or perhaps even the start of a family heirloom.
Thrown and hand-built functional ceramics made from a mid-range, dark stoneware clay body. Decorated with colored porcelain slips and incised with sgraffito.
