Artwork Because of the natural variations in the creating/forming of the clay artwork, and the high temp gas firing. not all pieces will look exactly the same, each one is unique. (click on images to add to your shopping cart)

Dinnerware sets. All of our clays and glazes are individually formulated, hand-crafted and high-fired to cone 10 (2370 F) to make them completely food safe. All of our functional pottery may be used safely in the microwave, dishwasher, and oven . we have pottery available in a variety of colors: Sandstone (brown) Azurite (Blue) Malachite (Green) Amathyist (Red/purple/blue) Because of the natural variations in the creating/forming of the clay artwork, and the high temp gas firing.

French Butter Dishes French Butter Dishes French Butter Dishes originated in the Middle Ages as a way to store butter before refrigeration existed. They preserve your butter by creating an air tight seal, keeping it soft and fresh for up to a month without needing to be refrigerated. To use, pack 1/4 pound (1 stick) of butter into the lid of the dish.

Mugs These mugs will hold approx. 14 oz, I take extra time to make them light weight and comfortable to hold, yet strong enough for years of use. High fired stoneware is dense and strong these cups are very chip resistant because of this.

Bowls 8 items

Drums Our Ceramic Drums are hand-made using High fire stoneware clay for strengh, durability and supurb sound quality. Each drum is individually hand-made on the potters wheel and indiviually glazed, so no two drums are exactly alike. Our drums are made with the finest quality goat skin heads.

The process  Pottery is made by forming raw clay (after mixing, pugging and wedging the clay) into objects of a desired shape/size and heating them to high temperatures in a kiln, this reaction with the fire leads to permanent molecular changes, including increasing their strength and hardening and setting their shape. this changes the clay into durable ceramics. After forming the pot it is dried before firing.

More pots! We hope you will enjoy owning and using these pots as much as we enjoy making them.

Because we personally hand make every piece, each one has its own individual spirit; although pieces may be similar no two are exactly alike - the human touch exists in every aspect of the process. Our pottery also combines all the elements of nature. It is created with earth and water, dried by the air, and reborn by fire.
