Sweet Tea, Blue $125
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.

In the Secret Garden $750
Porcelain, 11. I 25 x 9.25 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.

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. This piece was lost in the flooding at Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Biltmore location in October 2024

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.

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
