A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "The pottery is all wheelthrown and then altered by using various techniques such as hand shaping and sculpting of the clay, carving, and/or cutting of the clay. This ensures that each piece is unique. A color palette of vibrant hues along with rustic and neutral glazes is used. All glazes used are foodsafe and leadfree, lending to the functionality of the pottery. However, it also has a very decorative flare and can be described as usable art."
