Random still-lifes of objects, scenarios, curios and iconic images... impressed into clay. Telling a story, preserving, encasing for now and always. Hand formed tableware.

Capturing images and applying them to clay enables me to create a vision of whimsy and directed randomness. Presently, I am deeply involved with creating rustic, yet refined tableware.

Form and function collide on this hand-formed tableware-made in small to large plate, platter and bowl sizes. The tableware is slab- constructed and made from dark, rich California clays using high and low fired glaze finishes. They incorporate impressed vintage and found object imagery with hand-etched detailing.

Recurring iconic imagery, drawn from the urban and natural world include the the Drowning Charlotte--an early 20th century porcelain figurine that was baked into cakes. Whoever got the slice with the Charlotte had a year of good luck. In addition, cottonwood branches, beach detritus, vintage Mexican plaster birds and cracker jack charms are used to impress into the clay. And whatever else comes my way wherever I am.

Treat the everyday with something special. High-end craft, hand formed and touched. Artisan made, not mass produced but made for the masses. Use these plates and bowls-for all of your food groups, everyday. Meant to be cherished, but used often.

These plates have heft, are quite sturdy..yet elegant. Plates are dishwasher safe.

All tableware is one of a kind, handmade with new designs created all the time. So, variations in color and exact form will occur.
