Contemporary Stoneware Pottery
Hand made in Wisconsin

Distinctive – Fun – Easy to Use

Stylized designs are carved onto each piece by a process called “sgraffito” or “slip-carving.” After the piece is thrown on the wheel and trimmed, a layer of colored clay called “slip” is brushed on to the surface. Once the slip has been allowed to dry slightly, I hand draw the design through the slip to remove the colored layer. Colored underglaze is added after the first firing, and the final clear gloss glaze is applied for the second firing. No stamps or stencils are used.
