ABOUT THIS WEBSITE: The newer work starts at the top of each page. As you scroll down, the work moves into the past with the oldest work being at the bottom of the page. Much of the work is already sold and I mark it as such as I get the time. If you see something you like in particular and it isn't in my current inventory I can make it on commission if you are patient. As mentioned below, each piece is unique so I can only approximate the glaze while the form is easily repeated. Prices do not reflect shipping charges. |
ARTIST'S STATEMENT: While I like controlling the process up to a point, I also enjoy using the element of serendipity in my glazes. I surrender some control to the fire goddess. Each piece is one of a kind, even when they come as sets. Therefore the photos on the web site are of work that is ongoing and constantly changing. More and more the work is being done on a commissioned basis. For the most part, shapes and sizes can be repeated but the color variance cannot since the glaze colors will vary from piece to piece and from firing to firing. The functional work is lead free, microwave safe and oven proof. All work is high fired except where noted. |
