Porcelain and stoneware are extremely durable and can be treated as you would any normal dinnerware. It will last generations, even thousands of years, (unless someone breaks it, and even then the shards will remain for future archaeologists to discover). It can be used in a dishwasher, microwave, and oven. Just avoid sudden, extreme changes in temperature.All our products are lead and cadmium free.

Each piece is hand made. I love throwing on a potter’s wheel, but also handbuild, do slab construction, or whatever works best to bring my creative concepts to fruition. My hands are my most important tools, but I have lots of ways of forming and shaping. I make some of the tools I use, especially those that I use for texturing the surface of the clay. I also adapt found objects. I use a wide variety of clays and glazes. Most of my glazes are my own formulation. Some are ash glazes. I apply glaze by dipping, pouring, painting, and spraying.
