We work with clay to create ceramic birdhouses, garden stakes, plates, etc. We specialize in dog, cat, bird, and flower designs. Everything is made by us. We do art fairs in northern California and are located in the San Francisco area.

Mold Pouring

Yesterday at the studio, spent a couple of hours glazing a birdhouse, putting greenware into the kiln and socializing with other potters. One beautiful new piece had just been unloaded from the kiln. The birdhouse came out great, just needs a perch and wire hangar to be complete. Prior to yesterday, we had glazed a number of beads that we use to hang birdhouses with some new colors. Very impressive results. Will take pictures of the new finished products and post them. Right now, pouring liquid clay into a jar mold. Waiting to pour it out and the clay to take the shape of the mold. This one we will glaze a bright color and put some bird appliques on. It is a lot less labor intensive and can be sold at a lower price.
