Valentines for Clay Lovers


So this is what I've been up to:

Plates, cups, votives, and tumblers made from porcelain clay have been my January projects. The picture above is of unfired ware - work in progress.

Each piece has a word or a message stamped into the clay with a variety of rubber stamp alphabets. Other decorative stamps and carvings add to the designs, and each one is different. Is it possible for me to make two pieces alike, ever? I don't think so.

They are intended as valentine gifts and will be offered for sale at the pop up organized by the Arts Council for Valentine's Day. The Valentine's market will be at the Princeton shopping center on February 9 and February 11.

More information to follow. And decisions to make on glazing. What will the finished ware look like? I'm eager to experiment. Wish me luck.
