Stoneware cups, mugs, and dishes glazed with a single glaze. Coyote Enduro-Color Honeydew creates beautiful depth of color and variation from apple green to baby blue. Multiple dips create the line patterns in the cup. The hand feeling is satin smooth even where there is movement in the glaze.
A fresh batch of stoneware pottery with Coyote Honeydew Enduro color glaze. Multiple layers of the glaze gives the pieces a mottled textural quality.
Water etched and carved porcelain cups with sagebrush celadon glaze defining the water etching. The porcelain glows through the celadon glaze with pooling to bring out the color. The interior space also concentrates the celadon bringing out its green color. Also, if possible, turn the sound on and listen to the rain, oh and watch out for the dog bark 🌧️🐶
