A mouse in the house

This stylish clay mouse is a foot tall. So much painterly talent was needed to glaze the details on the dress and face.

Never enough raku



Even the different photographic angles don't do this this raku bird justice.  In person the green glaze looks like Italian marble and the tan/brown side has an iridescent sheen.

Raku Chickadee


This cute ceramic chickadee has a beautiful crackle design due to the method of its firing. After the bisque firing, it was glazed and raku fired. You never know what you'll get when you take it out of the smoldering ashes. But here we've got a real gem.

Green fish

This beautiful fish of clay has a very pleasant look about him. He looks ready to swim away with a flip of that tail!
