	about					High-fired stoneware, food-safe, dishwasher and microwave safe.
	puchase					Stoneware should never be placed into a hot oven. Warm the piece gently
	events					by filling with water and microwaving for about a minute, or put in
	links					a cold oven while preheating.
	contact				raku
						Bisqued pieces are quickly heated to 1800 degrees, pulled from the hot
						kiln, and placed into a bucket of hay or paper, which catches fire and is
						quickly smothered. The thermal shock cracks the glaze and the smoke stains
						the exposed surfaces. Raku is not food safe or water tight.
					horsehair
						Bisqued pieces are heated to 1000 degrees and removed from the kiln.
						Individual strands of hair from a horse's tail are draped across the surface
						of the pot to create the characteristic markings of this traditional Native
						American art form. Horsehair pieces are not food safe or water tight.
					whistles
						Stoneware whistles are hand-glazed and high-fired. Most sound a single
						clear tone. Ocarinas sound multiple tones.
					la petite menagerie
						Stoneware clay is molded into timy, hollow animals and bisque fired, then
						glazed or given a faux bronze finish with oil and acrylic paints. Most
						of these little sculptures are less than 2" tall.
					pots
						Every potter who loves the wheel loves to throw pots. It's so much fun to
						watch a flat lump of clay moprh into a graceful, symmetrical vessel. My
						pots are glazed and high-fired and are water-tight. I use a tiny pot for
						snips and scraps from my needlework.
					portuguese olive dishes
						In Portuguese restaurants, they always put hot, crusty bread, sweet creamy
						butter, and a bowl of Calamata olives on your table. These dishes, like ones I
						found in Lagos, areperfect for serving to guests because the smaller section
						holds the pits. Unable to find them in the U.S., I made my own.
