You can bake in the bowls and the pots look great either by themselves or with plants in them.

We use ours as fruit bowls and salad bowls

They look great on a table !

The hand made pieces are slab and extruder constructed.

One of a kind pieces that can be functional or non functional, decorative is fine.

And collectors love the stories.

Enjoy

Thanks

Wheel thrown pottery

It seems that all the pieces are one of a kind type. I like to try different ways of decorating, Pressed images, scraffito, slip drawing, or just plain glaze experimentation.

I love texure, so it usually shows up here and there.


Handbuilt tealite holders

They look great on a table indoors or on the patio, porch, deck or coffee table. Nice warm safe glow......................
