Decorative Pieces
My decorative pieces are all one of a kind. Each piece starts as a lump of clay spinning on my wheel head. When the basic shape is right it is left to dry to a leather hard stage and then trimmed and sometimes altered to add variety to the basic cylindrical form. Faceting with a cheese cutter, paddling with a plank of wood, fluting with a melon baller, sculpting birds, and other figures by hand, and brush painting on a smooth clay canvas are the techniques I use to make my work unique and my own.
