My Work |
|||||

I create pieces using the traditions and techniques of the Pennsylvania German potters. The designs and images are inspired by antique pottery, Fraktur and painted furniture, to name a few of the Pennsylvania German folk arts. The collection includes sgraffito and slipware plates, ornaments, cookie jars, pitchers, covered jars, mugs and more. These items are made entirely by hand from red earthenware clay and are decorated one at a time. The plates and ornaments are made from rolled slabs of clay and the cookie jars, pitchers, bowls are turned on a pottery wheel. The whistles and banks are sculpted by hand making each a unique work of art. Juried
