In Full Swing

A few weeks ago I packed up the car and drove across the mountains to participate in the Celebrate Montana Art: Artists' Showcase and Sale in Helena, MT.

It was my first time to use our new show setup and our new display looks fabulous! (Adam built these shelves for us - this beautiful. entirely collapsible shelf, painstakingly pegged together with square red wood pegs, started out as a pile of logs.)

Here is a prototype of a new product we will be bringing to this seasons holiday shows. 

We, as many in our community, have back yard chickens and thus the need for a wooden egg holder perfect for on the counter or in the fridge.

Please contact us if you would like any custom pieces (wooden or ceramic) for this holiday season. 

Studio Sneak Peak of my Upcoming Show

New Cone 10 Soda Fired Work

I have been busy in the studio - making mugs, bowls, jewelry, and a few sculptures.  

A friend snapped this picture of my while she was explaining how to use her camera.  She was kind enough to let me borrow her camera so that I could document my most recent pieces.  Here are a few of the many new finished mugs and bowls that now sit boxed up on my self at The Clay Studio of Missoula.   These pieces are all soda fired to cone 10 and the exterior surfaces are primarily left unglazed. The surfaces are decorated with layered flashing slips and carved designs.  The mugs hold approximately 12 ounces of liquid.
