It's here! This weekend is my Sixth Annual Holiday Open House, and once again I have new designs to show off. The feedback I get from my regular customers at this event helps to shape my offerings for the next year. What do you think of these?

This is my new design for a Sugar + Cream Set. Minimal and multi-functional, two of my favorite adjectives. About 4.5 inches across. $55/set.
 

I have been making long, narrow, rectangular plates for many years. There were times when the rectangles drove me mad (read why), and I've dreamed of redesigning them as ovals for a long time. Here they are! 7.5in Butter Dish $15; 10in Olive Dish $22; 15in Serving Tray $50.
 

I have offered different versions of this idea before, here is my latest design of a reversible pot that is both a candlestand and a vase. 6in tall. $38 each.
 

One of the mantras of a working potter is "work faster" and I try to live by that as much as possible. But every once in a while, it feels great to spend way too much time fussing over a few pots. Textured Jars with Wire Handles, about 5in tall, $65 each.
 

A new form for my slip-carved illustrations, Heron Jar with Reed Handle, 8in tall, $140.
 

This bowl was recently pictured on this blog at the bottom of a stack of bowls made by my students. I call it the Clouds Bowl. 9.75in across, $65.

 
And at this year's event, I am pleased to welcome Royce Yoder as my guest potter! Royce and I have been friends for almost ten years, and he was my role model for venturing into the wholesale side of the craft industry. Preview his work at royceyoderpotter.com.
