Ceramic Arts

   Decorative tiles are hand-pressed reproductions of original artwork. The artist (John) creates the images on paper; has the designs photographed for development into rubber impressions; then uses the rubber in combination with wood and clay to create the original artwork from which a plaster cast is made. These tiles can be used as functional trivets or displayed as wall hangings within hardwood frames. Tiles are from 3/8" to 1" thick; 6" to 8" round or square.

   Other clay art pieces by John and Teresa include wheel-turned bowls, pots and plated; hand-pinched bowls and pots; and hand-carved scupltures that are one-of-a-kind works: no reproduction castings are available. Sculptures and pots/bowls are generally about 4" to 12" in height. Plates generally run from 10" to 18" in diameter.

   Currently available ceramic pieces include tiles depicting ships, fish and landscapes; sculptured fish, dragon, and sea siren or wood nymph offering bowls; sculptured fish and dragon candle holders; numerous decorative small to large food bowls, plates and vases well suited for every day living; and scupltures of fish. As indicated by the photos, all artwork is highly stylized and/or uniquely glazed. Types of available ceramic artworks are listed in the Shopping Cart.
