Care Instructions

Here are a few hints to help you better care for my work.

Although my work will not fall apart in either; dishwashers and microwaves are not recommended.

I recommend hand-washing my work in order to clean either food or dust. The surfaces may change over time depending on how my worked it used. Heavy use may create a patina-like surface, due to the oils in one’s hands.  Many people delight in these changes as others prefer to keep the surface in their original state. The decision is up to you as to how you “use” my work.  However you chose, my hope is that it will bring you enjoyment while sitting on a shelf or holding butter on your counter.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

My work is created from soft earthenware slabs. The forms are initially created from handmade  2 dimensional paper patterns and traced onto thinly rolled slabs. After the pot is rolled up and assembled, then additional components are attached. These include feet, spouts, and lids.

The outside surfaces of my work are created from layers of underglaze, glaze, and terra sigillata. Terra sigillata is an ultrarefined clay slip that can provide anywhere between a soft sheen to a high gloss. The “terra sig” provides a thin, translucent sealant while not distorting the texture underneath. The iron rich clay remains visible and active due to the translucency of the terra sig.

The interior surfaces of all my work, whether functional or decorative, are lined with a food safe glaze.
