Sweet Tea, Blue $158
Porcelain clay , 6 x 5 x 3.25”
Porcelain clay is the perfect, sweet, medium for delicate texture and color, lending sparkle to colorants that are brushed, rubbed and sprayed on the surface. Sometimes the colors look almost like leather, sometimes more like the worn canvas I use to texture the clay.
Late Bloomer $450
Porcelain and polymer clay, 10 x 8 x 6.5”
I don’t know if I was a late bloomer. Most likely that is true.
Going $425 Unavailable
Porcelain and polymer 8.75 x 6”diam.
The base of this teapot, like the stage in a play, is an important part in this piece. This piece was lost in the flooding at Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Biltmore location in September 2024.
Alice’s Tea $550
Porcelain with polymer clay, 11 x 8 x 6.5
This teapot plays with scale, as Alice is forced to do when in Wonderland. This piece will be part of the exhibition Big, Little at Asheville’s Folk Art Center in 2025

Tall Tea $525
Porcelain and polymer clay, 12 x 7 x 7”
A singing bird, flowers peeking out, leaves rustling, all these things pull me out to the garden. I keep going back to this theme and here is a new piece for 2025.
Alice’s Tea $450
Porcelain, 10 x 8 x 7”
Straight out of a fairy tale, Alice’s Tea brings it all to the party. 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 $210
Porcelain, 9 x 6.75 x 4.5”
Would that all 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. This piece was made in memory a teapot lost in the flooding at Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Biltmore location in September 2024.
Away $395
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.
Sweet Tea, Turquoise $168
Porcelain and polymer, 6.25 x 5 x 4.25
The Lover, the Saver of Small Things SOLD
Porcelain and steel pins, 12 x 8 x 7”
This petite pot, with its ruffled topper and scattered roses encircling the base, would be perfect on a bookcase or desktop. I’m loving this calming color.
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
Porcelain and polymer 9 x 8 x 7”
This color combination reminds me of a woodland fairytale and so the title. See this teapot at Odyssey Gallery in Asheville’s River Arts District.
At the Garden Gate $450
Porcelain and Polymer Clay, 10 x 8 x 7.5”
This one was inspired by the first blooms of spring.
