I've always called it StoneFlowerPottery. Since 1973 I've signed my pottery with this flower stamp (a button in its former life). It's stoneware clay stamped with a flower and tagged with a story. Carefully made from balls of clay. Each object is purposefully formed by hand on my messy wheel head.

This is how my hands often look while at work. The lump of clay shown here is how most everything starts.	After a thrown pot sets up, dries a bit, gets a little hard, I turn it upside downon the wheel head and work on forming the foot. A sponge makes the foot clean and smooth.

I often give away pottery and ususally forget to get photos of the winners but here are 2 recent winners.
	This happy couple won a blue bowl donated to the Sonnenberg Garden, Arts at the Garden 2015 show. The bowl they won was already packed up so the gentelman held another blue bowl for the picture. They were thrilled and so was I. I give away a lot of pottery and it's rare that I hear from anyone who wins it. Glad it was them. They look pretty pleased.

Earring materials in colorful bits.	Handforming metals for wall pieces or sculpture.
	Punching a 1/1" hole in copper to prepare to insert a 1/1" eyelet.
An earring bowl. Earrings hang on the outside and bracelets can go inside.
	My Yellow Room is the pottery storage area. Call for an appointment any time. Studio prices are somewhat lower than gallery prices. Seasonal gift wrap often available.
Handmade Earrings with pure niobium wires. Niobium is a non-reactive wire, a material often used for surgical implants because it is non-irritating. It is often mentioned with titanium which has similar uses but is somewhat softer. All earrings are one of a kind.
