It's a hot, hot summer... with show cancellations
This weekend, the air quality is 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. The show is going on but the physical stress of installing our tent and display when the air quality is not healthy. We apologize to all our customers who we were looking forward to seeing.
However, we will have a virtual "midsummer" pottery sale right here on our website featuring most of the work we would have brought to the Kohler Art Center. A notice will be sent out to all of you who have signed up for our newsletter.
Tiny Face Stoneware Tumblers
I love making Tiny Face Tumblers and imagining stories for each one. Stoneware tumblers are ideal for hot tea, or juice; sipping wine, or sharing a whiskey with friends.
- Eighteen new hand carved faces!
- Each tumbler is signed: "Love is not square".
- If you get 2 or more, use the code TINY for free shipping.
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?
