Hand-building--
shaping clay

centuries. Creating your

ceramic cup,
a sculpture or making distinctive Plates, Bowls, Mugs and
Teapots is like giving voice to complex dreams and visions...
Crafting clay

almost limitless possibilities, from functional dinnerware,
stoneware
or gigantic clay sculptures and ceramic lidded rice container pots, to
clay wares for collectors
or friends.
Pottery has
allowed ceramist artist to
peel away at the deep layers of mystery that lie beneath the outward
appearance of soft moist clay and creating pottery art
pieces similar to the way artist paint--both
involve intense exploratory processes.
