This piece has become, over the years, my logo - for a couple of reasons. It's perfect proportionally for a business card; but mostly because it's striking and draws a lot of attention at shows. It is intended for display but is also very functional. My customers have come up with many ideas for using it, like salsas, jams & honey, or toppings like seeds, parmesan, etc. It is about 20" long and each jar holds about 12 ounces. I give the pointed ends on the jars a lot of attention during the making to ensure that they are smooth and compressed, have a proper thickness, so that they are chip-resistant (and nice to the touch). The set sells for $379.

o happy clay!

I spent many hours as a child poring over fairy tales books and copying the illustrations. And having grown up in a large family with no room for clutter, I came to appreciate things that were both functional and beautiful. My studio is in the middle of my organic garden. Between gardening and working with clay, it seems like my hands are never clean!

Before ceramics, I spent twenty-five years in fine art and graphic art, including ten years as a sign painter. My work has won several awards, is in galleries across the country, and has been exhibited in national shows.
