Pieces Displayed at the Doylestown Arts Festival
The Confetti Collection
The white collection features both free-form and structured forms which incorporate a variety of textures.
Gift Boxes
These boxes are both sculptural and functional. Their uses are only limited by your imagination! They make beautiful pieces for a shelf or mantle and can be substituted for wrapping paper when presenting a gift!
Functional Pieces
Each of these pieces is designed to add beauty to your home, while being fully functional. Add them to your own collection or give them as unique gifts to your friends, teachers and co-workers. The pieces are all dishwasher safe, oven safe* and the vases are water-tight.

Saggar Pieces
These pieces are strictly decorative. The saggar firing process is one of the most exciting to me as the end result is vastly different every single time. The making of the pieces is labor intensive, but worth the outcome. The pieces have been burnished, leaving a silky smooth surface that begs to be touched. Although the forms are porous, a glass or plastic insert will hold water for you should you want them to contain plants or flowers.
Leaf Platters
These platters make distinctive serving platters and fruit bowls, but are also lovely on their own as display pieces. Poplar and giant sycamore leaves are used in the making of these pieces.
Wood fired pieces
Wood fired pieces are a labor of love and, thankfully, food safe. The surfaces are a result of special glazes which are affected by the extreme heat of the wood kiln and the flames that lap the sides of the pots. There is nothing quite like opening a wood kiln after many hours of stoking it with wood and allowing it to cool.
