Luke Jacks "Duckling Plate" at the Joyful Jewel 7-5-13

Duckling Plate

Luke Jacks

Pottery and Glazes

$60

Luke Jacks'  plates are made of white clays. The designs are created with underglazes, underglaze pencils and watercolors, then the piece is dipped in a lincoln clear. The plates are microwave, dishwasher and food safe if you'd like to eat from them. Or they can be hung as wall art.  This plate has the cutest-ever duckling "painted" on it.  I imagine it being placed in an honored spot on the mantle or hung the wall in your den, ready to bring a fluttery vibe to the place.

HP Pelzel & Sandra Boyd Pelzel "Free Form Bowl" at the Joyful Jewel 6-6-13

"Free Form Bowl"

HP Pelzel & Sandra Boyd Pelzel

Pottery, ~ 6" x 4"

$25

          HP and Sandra Pelzel told me that this bowl was formed around a balloon!  The design was carved into the clay and then the piece was laid around the balloon.  As the clay hardened, the balloon was popped and the shape was further worked until the makers were happy with the free form shape.  I love the funny, lilting shape they decided on.  Seems just right that the natural clay color is offset with darker highlights and muted green interior.
