|
|
 |
Pagoda Olive Oil BottleThese pots can be used in the kitchen to keep your oil handy. This is my piece that was featured on the cover of Clay Times Magazine in October 2012. |
 |
Bottle FormsBottles are shapes with narrow necks. There are a lot of different bottle shapes possible. |
 |
MugsMugs are cups with handles. Mugs are great for everyday use. |
 |
Tea PotsTea pots come in all sizes and shapes . For making tea, boil water on the stove, then add it to the tea pot and steep your favorite tea. |
 |
Traverse PotsThese are mostly decorative pots that could be used as bud vases, bottles, or urns. These begin as uniform, wheel thrown pots. Then they are highly altered and given a bit of a personality. These are very fun to make. I let my creativity run wild when working with these pots. |
 |
CupsCups are mugs without handles. These vessels are great for everyday use. They're great for juice, milk, and any kind of cold or warm drink. For hot coffee stick with mugs so you don't burn your hands. |
 |
TotemsThese forms are several feet tall, bold, and beautiful. My totems celebrate nature, rebirth, and the promise of growth. |
 |
FlockThis is a decorative sculpture. The bodies of the birds begin as extrusions. After creating the basic form, I sculpt them by hand and alter them. I use many tools to create the texture. Sometimes I highlight the texture with
engobe. |
 |
SculpturesThis stacked form is self supporting without any hidden supports. I sometimes enjoy playing with balance by joining small, hollow forms together. |
