It's a hot, hot summer...
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. But, we decided to create our own virtual mid-summer show on our website. Please take a look...
Welcome to our virtual mid-summer show below.

Mid-Summer Collection: Hand & Fire Series
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.
Favorite Bowl Mid-Summer Collection
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.
Mid-Summer 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.
