Shop Online

I have a lot of great new pots for sale in my online Etsy shop, www.joytanner.etsy.com. There are honey jars, bowls, mugs, cups, plates and more. These were all soda fired in my gas kiln using mostly a porcelain-like stoneware clay.  I hand carve or impress textures and patterns onto all the surfaces.  Leaving parts of the pot bare with just flashing slip on the surface, I can create contrast between the glazed and deeply carved areas.  Currently I am having fun using a teal green Oribe glaze that gives me a wide range of green tones depending on where it is in the soda kiln, or how thick or thin it is applied.  When the soda hits the green glaze it turns a bright turquoise, which is always exciting to find when I unload the kiln. Please visit my online shop and hopefully you'll find something you like! Cheers!
