Home Décor Home décor is a personal preference; each individual sees their own beauty in a work of art. I enjoy creating a large variety of works in an effort to rouse the emotions and excite an interest in my works of clay. Each piece is signed. Shown is a Japanese flower basket, called a Hanakago, designed for flower arranging. This type of flower basket requires a delicate technique which is very time consuming; but the results are beautiful. Click on the photo to visit the Home Décor gallery.
	Functional Pottery Functional pottery is by no means basic dinnerware. The right presentation of a meal can make a great difference in how the food is perceived and enjoyed. I believe unique dinnerware and serving pieces enhance the dining experience; this is what I create. Claymakins' stoneware is lead free, oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. Shown is an example of the River Series dinnerware. Click on the photo to visit the Functional Pottery gallery.
	Garden Art & Works of Whimsy Years ago sculpting whimsical faces on mugs, bowls and planters became one of my trademarks. Later I found leaves made the perfect canvas for faces and started creating Leaf Spirits. My love of nature inspired me to create other unique pieces of art that when placed at focal points around the garden add fun and stimulate conversation. Shown is a giant leaf bird bath on a short pedestal. Click on the photo to visit the Garden Art & Whimsical gallery.
