Ceramic Coasters

Finally posting some new pieces here! I have gone coaster crazy, needing to fill out my inventory (these are my best sellers at craft shows/farmers markets) I am trying out some new glazes, I have to say I am very happy with the results! These are for sale in sets of 4, all the same or mix and match.

New pieces in the Dress Form series.

After taking about 10 months off to build out my new loft and ceramics studio I am finally back in the swing of production. This is one of the newer pieces from my ongoing Dress Form Series. I like the way they are starting to evolve, the forms are getting a bit larger (6" and up), the textures and alterations are not only becoming more layered but are also evolving away from 'dress' making. Finally, I am starting to get familiar with these glazes and what language they are speaking. Please let me know what you think.

My First Etsy Treasury!

I just found out that I have made it into my very first Etsy Treasury!
What is this you ask? Well, it is a curated showcase of items for sale put together by other sellers or etsy staff. These are usually grouped by some common thread (such as color, material, or image), a play on words, or just because the person likes what they see. I got my little honey pot included in this one! Yay!

"Dirt on Delight: Impulses that Form Clay" at the University of Pennsylvania's ICA

Clay is a base material. From potsherds to porcelain fixtures, clay is synonymous with the building of industries and cultures. At the same time , its very materiality—its tactile malleability, earthen sensuousness, and humidity—make it the medium of more elemental associations and expressions. The immediacy with which clay allows one to build form and create ornament underlies its appeal—especially in relation to current modes that seem to take fabrication increasingly out of artists' hands.


Ranging from modestly scaled pots to figurines to large sculptures, these objects cross a spectrum of conventional delineations among fine art, craft, and outsider practices. Collectively they suggest that clay appeals to basic impulses, starting with the delight of building form, coupled with the anxiety of completion. All of the works in the exhibition appear to be in some state of flux or growth.

"Dirt on Delight will be running January 16 - June 21, 2009 and is featuring significant work in clay by 22 artists spanning four generations. The artists include the current generation (Nicole Cherubini, Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Jeffry Mitchell, Sterling Ruby, and Paul Swenbeck), artists who emerged during the 1990s (Ann Agee, Kathy Butterly, Jane Irish, Arlene Shechet, and Beverly Semmes), those who established clay as a critical material during the 1960s and 1970s (Robert Arneson, Viola Frey, Ron Nagle, Ken Price, Adrian Saxe, Beatrice Wood and Betty Woodman), and historic and outsider figures (Lucio Fontana, Peter Voulkos, and Rudolf Staffel, as well as George Ohr and Eugene Von Bruenchenhein).

New Ceramic Pendants

I just got the first batch of my new pendants out of the kiln. Here are a couple not so great photos- but hopefully you get the idea. I am really excited about these, they have gotten even more asymetrical, I've developed the patterning and I think I've made it more interactive than before, and I've not only got new colors but new color combinations. In the next few weeks I'll be putting them together with silver and cords, maybe even some pearls and beads. I'll post some pics as soon as they are finished, but feel free to place your orders early! ;^)
