A genuine, original, handmade, ceramic tea pot.
Robust Earthenware Teapots made from terracotta, earthenware and midfire clays designed to provide a good brew and to keep the tea warm.
Sculpture & Pottery
Our pottery includes both porcelain and stoneware reduction and oxidation fired vessels in a variety of colors with forms ranging from simple shapes inspired by European and American modernist pottery and architecture, to sculptural vessels that function as a vehicle for more painterly and/or aggressive formal exploration of shape and form. Both use the teapot, covered container, cups, bowls, vases, bottles, and plates as vehicles for their ideas about formal, aesthetic, and conceptual values.
Both Roy and Barbara have had long careers as ceramic sculptors. The work on the site is a modest representation of close to 40 years of intense creative work.
Dedicated to David Roon's explorations in Raku pottery. Emphasis on functional forms (especially lanterns, drums, and fountains) with surface relief designs featuring coastal and mythological motifs.
Inspired by nature handcrafted ceramics of organic and earthy quality from sculptural forms to functional pottery.
"My strongest inspiration comes from Mother nature and its influences on the shape of plants and animals, trees and rocks, both on land and underwater. New techniques and forms continually stimulate my interest in clay. The process of integrating various media with clay, like metal wire, stones, sand and wood to create dynamics has a great appeal to me. My favorite firing method is raku but I also use high fire with reduction process and oxidation process.
Each piece is hand-built or thrown on a wheel and finished with food safe glazes exept raku. Raku ceramics by their creative process and their very nature serve only for decorative purposes and are not intended to be used for food.
