Ceramic Magnets

I have been experimenting with smaller ceramic items as little vignettes of my illustrations. Pottery for me has always been an illustration surface, and these tiny magnets are a way to challenge myself to make smaller, more detailed designs.

These are a few of the magents I made during the fall of 2025.

Blackberry Magnet
Mushrooms Magnet
Strawberry Magnet

Lidded jars combine skills of wheel-throwing and hand-building in construction. Over the years of my pottery making, I've explored lots of jar sizes and shapes. These are a few of my favorite jars that I've made.

Chrysanthemum Jar
Sauron Jar
Beautiful Things Jar
Clover Jar
