The short version

Everything here is hand-built and hand-painted. No two are the same — some on purpose, some not.

Everything gets painted one at a time — usually late at night.

01

Lamps

I love lamp.

Hand-built ceramic bases.
The kind of lamp you leave on even when you don't need to.

The biggest ceramic lamp, a hand-built base with a linen shade — the first lamp the studio ever made.

Tiles

Small scenes, in squares.

Painted one at a time. Chickens in socks and sandals,
foo dogs, mahjong tiles, and signs from around D.C.

Plates — the frog series

Ten frogs, doing things.

Inspired by a greeting card I spotted in a London museum gift shop — I wanted them in ceramic form for my home.

Plates — jazz cats

A small side project.

Scalloped edges, music notes, the whole band.
