Her glazing process focuses on the interaction of overlapping glazes and patterns created using a wax resist technique. While her pieces are exquisite, they are made to be used. This piece is a beautiful blue with a white leaf like pattern inside and out. The diameter is 9 1/2 inches and is 4 inches high. For more about her work . . .
