Pottery and Sculpture
Welcome to Beautiful Things Pottery!
Working in clay, molding three dimensional objects with my hands is a powerful and freeing experience. It allows my imagination to express new ideas into something physical, touchable, and sensual. This page is dedicated to this type of art expression.
My brand-new collection of sculpture and pottery has been inspired by landscapes and florals found in the beautiful Door County, Wisconsin. The collection includes vases, bowls, and angel figurines sculpted out of clay, that have been then hand-painted with ceramic glazes, and carved. Twice fired in the kiln to ensure durability and strength. Each sculpture and pottery piece is unique and one of kind.
