It's a hot, hot summer... with show cancellations
Mid July, the air quality was so bad that Steve and I canceled one of our favorite shows -- Midsummer Festival of the Arts at the Kohler Art Center, in Kohler, WI. We apologize to all our customers who we were looking forward to seeing.
Mid-Summer Collections
So... we decided to have a mid-summer virtual show, right here on our website. I photographed a lot of our current work which is now available here.
Mid-Summer Collections
Artful Pottery in Your Daily Life
This Collection features unique clay works created by Steve over the years. Many of the pieces in this Collection result from pursuing a grain of an idea to see where it lands. A serving platter becomes art for a wall when Steve works with the clay, applies the glaze, and fires the form so that the result is greater than a "functional" piece.
Often, we choose not to bring this work to craft fairs, and it can be seen only in our little vest-pocket gallery at our home studio. Now, some of the Collection is online which allows our customers, supporters, and collectors to see and purchase these one-of-a-kind pieces.
Stoneware Pottery Designs to Pre-Order in 2026
If you can't make it to one of our summer art fairs this year, our most popular pieces can be preordered. Read more information below...
What is a Pre-Order? Choose a Crucible, Ramekin, or Shell Bowl and we will custom make the pieces in the glazes you select. We will ship them out to you in about 4 weeks. As a valuable customer, we keep you informed on the progress of your order, from the its creation to its final firing. Thanks for your understanding.
Pre-Order Stoneware CRUCIBLES: for baking and more.
The stoneware Crucible is one of our earliest designs in clay and has become, over the years, a customer favorite.
Although we didn't design the Crucible to be a bread bowl, we learned from a customer that it might make a perfect bread-baking vessel.
Yes, you can bake a beautiful loaf of bread in our Crucible, and we include our favorite recipe in a booklet, Bread & Crucible, which is included in every purchase.
Stoneware SHELL BOWLS: the bowl with a work ethic.
Available to pre-order.
If you want a unique go-to bowl you call your "own," the Shell Bowl has its fans and collectors. This bowl will take you from morning granola through a midnight snack, hot or cold. It's called a SHELL bowl because it appears delicate like an ocean shell, but it's hardy enough to withstand the rigors of your day. We even say this bowl has a work ethic!

Stoneware RAMEKINS
Available to pre-order.
The name comes from the French term ramequin, a cheese or meat-dish baked in a small mold.
Our RAMEKIN is a small stoneware bowl: simple, hardy, versatile, and... cute! Bake or microwave in it. Serve hot soup or chili. And, this bowl is perfect for a homemade ice cream sundae. Why not create a multi-colored table setting?
