Wowza! Sculpture show at the Hotchkiss Creamery

"Wowza! your pieces at the creamery are fantastic.  they are so original.  i love the little faces in the flowers,  the glazes are really well done."-comment from artist Erin Williams
Iris Reverie
It's almost a retrospective, the first time many of these sculptures have been seen all in one place. I'm really proud of this collection of my Ceramic Sculptures and hope to see lots of friends and patrons at the opening for refreshments (I'm bringing an awesome pesto dip) and maybe even a poetry performance (The Potter's Claim with the white gloves).
Opening in the Peach Gallery at the Creamery in Hotchkiss 
on Friday July 13 6:00-8:30pm.
Show continues through August 6.
If you know my work as only strong functional stoneware pottery: mugs and serving ware, you're in for a treat with this show of expressive botanical themes executed in Stoneware and Porcelain. Most items are for sale.

Mugs mug shots

These figured mugs are wheel thrown and decorated with colored clay slips, sometimes called engobes.
I cut a detailed stencil in order to replicate the images. Usually the back of the mug has a mountain from a stencil and around the figure are free-hand mountain "paintings."
Each mug holds a generous 11 oz. at approximately 4" x 3" x 3" and is made of high fired stoneware: dishwasher and microwave safe.
