So I've decided to create our own Midsummer Festival of the Arts on our website...a virtual venue to see and purchase our work.
Take a look at some of our latest work, as well as your favorites. Of special interest are the Hand & Fire Bowls, which have started an entirely new direction for Steve. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch. Enjoy
Mid-Summer Hand & Fire Bowls
Steve's latest work. Born from fire and clay, these hand-built bowls are a one-of-a-kind study in texture and contrast the result of an intensely hot firing that transforms raw clay into something almost geological. No two pieces from this series are alike; each reflects its own moment in the kiln.
Mid-Summer Shell Bowls & Ramekins
A great combo for any space. The Shell Bowl is the bowl with a work ethic—equally at home on the kitchen counter or gracing a bedside table. The Ramekin is simple, hardy, versatile, and undeniably charming. These pieces transcend their function, bringing quiet beauty to a living room reading stand, a cozy corner, or anywhere you want to pause and appreciate the handmade.
Bread Crucibles
What is a Bread Crucible?
Available now without pre-ordering.
A Bread Crucible is a hand-built stoneware bowl that is both functional and unique in design. It has become a customer favorite, because, "YES, you can bake a loaf of bread in it!".
Included with each purchase is our booklet, Bread & Crucible, which tells the evolution story of the crucible and includes the potter's own bread recipe that guarantees success.
Favorite Bowls
What is a Favorite Bowl?
These bowls come in various shapes, textures, exterior patterns, and interior colors.
The Favorite Bowl Collection is full of unique personalities. You just need to find the one that makes you smile.
The Last of the Tiny Face Tumblers...for now.
Each one is hand-formed in stoneware with a face carved directly into the clay, incorporating the natural ridge into the portrait. Each is signed with my mantra: Love is not square.
With a Tiny Face Tumbler you'll never drink alone again.
