I feel like I’ve been posting lots of “in progress” pictures with no follow up. It can be hard to imagine how a piece will look like once it is completely finished. So below are a couple of the in progress pictures followed by a few finished pictures.

This vase and a few other new pieces are now available for sale in my shop

The shop tab on my website will also take you to the same place.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

After making pots for 10+ years, I’m still amazed at the transformation the pots take after I finish decorating the surface. Below is a photo journey of the metamorphosis of a commissioned stacking jar.

It took several days of working exclusively on the stacking jar to complete the surface decoration. Now it will be dried slowly before the jar will be fired to about 1800 F (called a bisque). Then they will be glazed and fired again, this time to 2400 F before the entire process is complete.

In other news, I will be adding new work for sale in my Etsy shop this week and next so please check it out when you have a chance.

For those of you on Facebook, I have created a page for my pottery at

This will be another way to stay up to date on what I am doing. I will be updating the page when I write a new blog post, have new work for sale on my etsy shop and when there are other pottery related new like when I have

new pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Below is a vase for sale on my etsy shop. There are also 2 detail photos of the same vase. The glaze used for this vase is named Waterfall Brown. It runs when it’s a bit thick. As a result, it pools and highlights all the surface decoration in a really beautiful blue.
