Mugs/Cups/Tumblers
When I first started making dinnerware, I spent most of my time trying to figure out a mug handle that was different. I've resisted doing anything but the snake handle, but have finally come up with a mug with a traditional handle. The cordial/juice cups were added in 2008. I'm also currently working on a tumbler design. |

Bowls
Cereal bowls, salad bowls, soup bowls, bowls of many shapes and sizes, probably one to fit your needs. |

Plates & Dinnerware
The small plates are great as a luncheon plate or under a colander to catch water from freshly washed produce. The dinner plates are great for that big holiday meal or as a small serving platter. The big platters are great for a variety of cookies or other desserts that you want to display on your buffet table. Want a specific size? Call one of the galleries and ask for a quote. |

Colanders
I am currently not producing these items, please see more photos under the Archival category. |
| |
 |
Chip-N-Dips
I am currently not producing this line of work while I search for a new red clay. You can see some of the images under the Archival category. |
| |
 |
Serving Dishes
Some of these bowls can be coupled with a dip bowl to make a nice chip and dip, or be used alone for a serving or mixing piece. |
| |
 |
Serving Sets
All of these items can be purchased separately, but wanted to display them as sets also so you can see their proportions to one another. |

Casseroles / Baking Dish
I am currently not making these pieces with the blue glaze. I am testing some new glazes now and hope to start production on these pieces again soon. |

Other Fun Things
A catch all category for all the other stuff I make. |
| |
 |
Soap/Lotion Dispensers
These dispensers are little workhorses, whether at the kitchen sink or your bedside to remind you to moisturize at night. I am not producing any of the blue glazed items right now. |

 |
Luminarias
I've always loved to arrange these in odd number sets, small, large, in stands or without. Try a combination that you think you might like. |
| |
 |
Majolica
Majolica is yet another type of glazing method, frequently done on terra cotta. Some of these pieces have been done on a low fire white clay, some terra cotta. I am still exploring shapes and designs, and am looking forward to expanding this line of work. |

Raku
Raku is a firing process where the piece is removed from the kiln at the height of temperature and placed in a reduction bin (in my case a trash can with white paper). The paper catches fire since the pottery piece is anywhere from 1400-1800 degrees. The lid is placed on the can to smother the fire, and the smoke does it's work with the glaze. There's a range of color development with coppers, varying crackle effects with another type of glaze, always a treat to open the reduction and see what has developed. |

Mosaic Tile
Most of my tiles are cut by hand, although I have started to use cookie cutters when I find some that are to my liking. Handmade tile is a labor of love since it is very time consuming. |

 |
Slumped Glass
I became curious about firing glass in my kiln a few years ago and took a couple of classes. The slumped glass process needs to go through at least 2 firings just like clay, but at a much different firing schedule and temperature. |

Archival Pieces
While I am not currently producing these pieces, they may be put back into production when I find the time. |
