Hand Built Pottery
Heavily textured, slab built platter with stamps…utility and art.

Ask any clay artist about how they began their journey working in the mud and somewhere in their story you’ll hear that they were ‘hooked’.  For someone who is constantly exploring her creative side, clay opened up a whole new world for Becky… creative options, challenges, and a growing number of interesting ceramic pieces.  Ask Becky…and she will tell you that she is hooked.

New Paths to Adventure

Clay presents infinite options for form, texture, utility and artistic expression and even though clay is still relatively new to her, Becky is quickly finding her voice.

Handbuilt mug with a new ‘twist’ to a functional handle.

Becky and  enjoys stretching her creative instincts while learning to form unique clay pieces, experiment with glazes, and mastering the mysteries of firing a kiln.

Learning to do interesting things with texture and glaze has been a big focus in her quest for something new to incorporate into her creations.  She experiments almost every time she makes something.   The journey has brought much pleasure so far  as Becky travels down the road of discovery.  This page and others associated with specific projects are represent snapshots along that path.

Textures on textures make for mugs that invite user to ‘touch’.
The exercise of creating stamps and using those to develop depth and design are part of the experimental nature of Becky’s slab-built platters.
Multiple glazes, sculptural additions, a functional form, and a whimsical handle make extraordinary work.
