Plates

Slumping, Humping, and Throwing Plates and Platters this week. 
There is nothing like eating off of handmade plates. I have a little collection going and love to serve dinner to my family and friends on all mismatched one of a kind pottery.
Below is my attempt at trying to make plates in different ways.
These are wreath forms from the dollar store I used the shape
to trace the circle then I slumped the clay in the center of the form

"Small Favors" Show in Philly

  Well I will be back in my art school hometown of Philadelphia ( or my work will be anyways ) April 11- June 2, 2024 at the The Clay Studio.  This is a fun show where the work has to fit in a 4" square clear box that hangs on the wall. It's a fan favorite and will not let you down. Please come out for the opening April 11 from 5-8pm. I will have one of my porcelain wood fired hearts hanging on the wall for all to see.
