Clay

1 pound of porcelain—the perfect amount for throwing a mug.

Porcelain

I primarily work with porcelain for my clay body. It’s smooth, white, and even translucent when thin. It combines well with glazes, showcasing their vibrant colors and depths.

Glaze

I use several glazes that feature the colors of my beloved Midwest—reds, greens, some blues, and even a white.

  • Porcelain leaf glazed in Autumn Leaf Red

    Autumn Leaf Red

    This semi-translucent glaze contains all the colors found in fall leaves—red, pink, orange, yellow and brown.

  • Porcelain leaf glazed with emerald green celadon

    Emerald Green Celadon

    This celadon is my attempt at capturing the beauty of the green found all over the Midwest in grasses, moss, and sunlight shining through leaves.

  • Porcelain leaf glazed in Green Stone

    Green Stone

    I adore this glaze. It’s semi-matte, and shows texture and depth by transitioning from a yellow through light green to cornflower blue.

  • Porcelain leaf glazed in Plum

    Plum

    This transparent purple glaze breaks white when thin, and has a nice glossy feel.

  • Porcelain leaf glazed in Textured Teal

    Textured Turquoise

    This glaze is just fun. It’s packed with color. Lots of greens and when applied thickly, a brilliant blue.

  • Porcelain bird glazed in glossy white

    White

    This simple white glossy glaze is perfect for highlighting simple shapes like this bird magnet, and for use in dishes where it focuses attention on the food.
