Wild Yonder $525
Porcelain clay , 10 x 7.5 x 6”
Porcelain clay is the perfect, sweet, medium for delicate texture and color, lending sparkle to colorants that are brushed, rubbed into and sprayed on the surface. Sometimes the colors look almost like leather, sometimes more like the worn canvas I use to texture the clay. This piece is currently at Odyssey Gallery in Asheville.
Midnight Song $475
Porcelain and polymer clay, 10 x 8.25 x 7”
A tiny bird, leaves in shades of green and pearly white roses adorn this fanciful teapot. “Midnight Song” reminds me of evenings here in Asheville.
Going $425

The base of this teapot, like the stage in a play, is an important part in this piece.
Bloomer, Yellow $425
Porcelain with polymer clay, 9.75 x 8.25 x 7.25
Teapots have personalities. The combination of red roses against the vibrant yellow and green, to me, equal happiness.

A petite version of some of the larger teapots, with plenty of charm and sass.
Back to the Garden $575

A singing bird, the flowers peeking out, the rustling of leaves, all these things make me restless to get back to the garden. I keep going back to this theme and here is a new piece for 2023.
Wildflower Tea $575
Porcelain and polymer clay, 9.75 x 9 x 7”
I love the bright yellow; it is the color of happiness. Glazed inside with a smooth, clear glaze, this one, like all my teapots, is suitable for serving tea, but mind the lid while pouring. This may not be your most functional teapot, but it might be your most fun.
Ruffle Top Tea $225
Porcelain, 9 x 6.75 x 4.5”
Would that all the teapots had ruffle tops, I can’t get enough of them.I love the contrast of the clear white glaze with the unglazed, highly textured ruffly lid.

Porcelain, polymer, 9.75 x 6.5 x 6”
Away makes me think of sailing away, traveling to a new place, a wonderland. See this piece at Southern Highland Craft Guild, Biltmore Village, Asheville.

The Gatherer 12.5”h $750
Porcelain and Polymer, 12.5 x 8 x 7”
My grandmothers had button boxes, as most grannies did at the time, and I loved to explore what was inside. I used molds made from vintage buttons to make the many clay and polymer bits that adorn this teapot, I imagine a bird such as this one might gather these small beauties for their nest.
Tea for Two, White $225
Porcelain, 8.75 x 6 x 4”
The Lover, the Saver of Small Things SOLD
Porcelain and steel pins, 12 x 8 x 7”
While having fun with a series of petite pots, perky and amiable, why not add cups and saucers on top? They make me smile, and who doesn’t need that, at least once a day? See this piece at Southern Highland Craft Guild, Asheville.
This teapot conjures up memories of my grandmother’s dress shop. The numerous embellishments adorning the surface remind me of appliques, buttons and snippets of cloth to be found strewn about the seamstress’ workspace. It was shown in the exhibition“Too Much is Just Right,” Asheville Art Museum, 2023.
Into the Wild, Wild Wood $450

This color combination reminds me of a woodland fairytale and so the title.

And Straight on til Morning $450
