New Pots for the Open House

Pots from this fall's wood-firing will be for sale. I followed my own "two-month rule" that I preach to my students, which is that you need to look at your wood-fired pots for two months before you start to see them. I think I'm ready to let go of them now.

Picture
I have redesigned my dinnerware! The dinner plate is still square, though the proportions have been tweaked. The salad plate is now round, and the dipping bowl has bloomed. Trust me, I didn't undertake this redesign lightly, because the previous designs were so popular. But there were a few ideas itching in my brain that I needed to explore. Dinner plate is $36; salad plate is $26; dipping bowl is $12.

I have made jars with sculpted elephant handles for years. They have always been functionally labeled as "cookie jars." Kind-of vague. This is the first time I've made elephant jars with a specific functional intention. The large one holds a 5 pound package of flour or sugar. The small one holds 2 pounds. The rounded bottoms and wide mouth openings make for easy scooping with a measuring cup. They still work as cookie jars too. The five-pound canister is $140; two-pound canister is $95.

My new Sugar+Creamer set for 2011. The three pieces stack in any order. And the lid doubles as a spoon rest (my quirky need to have a place to put down a wet spoon). All three pieces can lead independent multi-functional lives, then come together as a set when needed. $65

I have also tweaked the design of my popular Cup+Saucer. The saucer still doubles as a lid. The cup is now a little taller and egg-shaped. And now you can add "egg coddler" to its list of many uses. $35

In case you have not received a postcard or email about the Open House, it is this weekend, December 11-12. Follow this link to get all the details. Hope to see you there!

A lovely body of work; best wishes for a fabulous weekend of selling pots. Your advanced wheel throwing class and subsequent show mentioned in the previous post are intriguing... very exciting.

Beautiful work I love the glaze colours of your work! I really like your bird houses in particular. I do struggle still to throw things so round!
