Lancaster County Sunset Silhouette
The sunsets here in Lancaster County can be breathtaking. Especially when you are walking or driving near a surrounding farm at the time.
I tried to capture this sunset in this one of a kind mug. I make all my work, from a ball of clay to the trimmed foot, on a kickwheel. When this mug was at aleather hard stage I painted it with black underglaze. I then carved the black away and left the silhouette of the sunset and farm. This technique is called sgaffito. Then it was set to dry. After the first firing, called a bisque, I painted in the sunset with colorful underglazes. These were gently washed off until the silhouette was revealed again. The inside was glazed black with a layer of mixing glaze giving it a varied blue and the outside was glazed transparent. Fired again, to approx. 2200 degrees. The secret to all my Mom's recipes is always "Love." I hope you find this in what I've made as well.

The sunsets here in Lancaster County can be breathtaking. Especially when you are walking or driving near a surrounding farm at the time.
I tried to capture this sunset in this one of a kind mug. Thrown on a kick wheel, painted, carved and then set to dry. After the first firing, called a bisque, the carved area was painted over with black and then wiped off to make a shadow effect of this farm. The inside was glazed and well as a transparent glaze on the outside. Fired again, to approx. 2200 degrees.

Handbuilt scraffito robin plate
This square plate measures 9 by 9 and was formed with a mold. When it was leather hard (able to carve) the inside was covered with a black underglaze. The robin and cherry blossom brach was lightly drawn into the glaze. The black underglaze was then carved away (sgraffito) to bring out the image. Underglaze colors were later hand painted after the piece was bisque fired. It was then covered in a clear glaze and fired again to complete the process.
Strong Woman lives here mug

The Strong Woman Story
For my 40th birthday, I received a rosemary plant from a close friend. She told me that her friend’s Mother always told her that a house that has a rosemary bush in the garden is a sign that a strong woman lives there. This story is the inspiration behind the strong woman line of pottery. This friend has the first piece of strong-woman pottery that I ever made.
Since then I have made many pieces of Strong Woman pottery, for all Strong Women - Strong Mothers, Strong Sisters, Strong Aunts,
Strong Friends, Strong Daughters, Strong Grandmothers.
From one strong woman to another, I hope you enjoy.

This 4 by 4 plate was hand built. After rolling out the stoneware clay, a piece of fresh rosemary, cut from my garden, is pressed into the clay and then pulled out leaving it's impression behind. The flattened clay is then slumped and formed over a wooden mold. After the clay takes the shape it is removed from the form, dried, and bisque fired. After this first firing, the rosemary image is colored with green mason stain and wiped off leaving a haze of color throughout the plate. I hand letter each plate or mug, dip it in a clear, food safe glaze, and fire it again.
All plates will resemble one another, but because each one is hand built, hand lettered, and pressed with fresh rosemary they will not be identical:)
A note card with this story is included with every piece.
