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.
Midnight Song $475 Unavailable
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. This piece was lost in the flooding at Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Biltmore location, September 2024
Going $425 Unavailable

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 2023.
In the Secret Garden SOLD
Porcelain, 11.25 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.
Ruffle Top Tea $225 Unavailable
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. This piece was lost in the flooding at Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Biltmore location in September 2024
Away $395

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.
Into the Blue SOLD
Porcelain and polymer, 9.25 x 8.5 x 7”
The Lover, the Saver of Small Things SOLD
Porcelain and steel pins, 12 x 8 x 7”
This one is purpley blue, with varied blue and purple flowers circling the surface. 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.

The color combination is just perfect in this piece. It was fortunate that ithe teapot survived the flooding in Asheville’s River Arts District.
