Ceramic Sculpture

Angel Dog

This wood‑fired ceramic figure has a quiet, dignified presence, its upright posture and robe-like form giving it a ceremonial feel. Rounded ears, a small cylindrical hat, and softly weathered glaze create a gentle, endearing character, while the open arms lend it the warmth of a guardian or storyteller from an imagined world.

Floating on a Sea of Love

This raku ceramic sculpture blends whimsy with quiet symbolism: a reclining puppy, glazed in smoky blues and earthy reds, supports a small boat balanced on its paws. The human figure inside the vessel adds a sense of trust and shared adventure, while the crackled raku surface brings spontaneity and a touch of dreamlike magic to the scene.

Three Make it Right

This raku sculpture unites three distinct personalities in a quietly theatrical moment. The central human figure, with its crackled surface and hollow eyes, feels ancient and ceremonial, while the iridescent canine behind it adds color and energy. A small bird perched on the figure’s head brings humor and balance, making the trio feel symbolic, playful, and mythic all at once.

The Devil is in the Details

This raku-fired devil figure radiates mischievous tenderness, its crackled metallic surface giving it an ancient, smoke‑touched presence. Bright red horns and exaggerated features lean into playful folklore, while the vivid red heart it cradles softens the menace, turning the piece into a study of vulnerability and contradiction.

Bunny Charm

This raku‑fired bunny has a gentle, endearing presence, its crackled glaze giving it a soft, timeworn texture. Upright ears and a bright bowtie add a touch of playful formality, while the subtle details in its face and posture make the figure feel quietly alive and full of charm.

Cerberus

This raku‑fired sculpture titled Cerberus offers a playful twist on the myth, presenting a single stylized creature whose glossy, multicolored head contrasts with its pale, crackled body. Exaggerated ears, tiny paws, and a totem‑like form give it a watchful, mischievous personality, turning the legendary guardian into a gentle, whimsical sentinel.

Balance the Impossible

This ceramic sculpture has a surreal, storybook charm: a steady, upright rabbit becomes the unlikely base for a small horse balanced lightly on its feet. The contrast in scale and posture creates a playful tension, forming a whimsical totem of balance and gentle absurdity, where quiet strength carries the unexpected with grace.

What Time is it?

This sculpture presents a poised yet quietly dynamic figure, its tall ear‑driven silhouette balanced by the grounded jacketed body. Crackled textures, subtle forward motion, and the red‑rimmed watch create visual depth and narrative tension. Echoing—but not simply repeating—the White Rabbit archetype, it blends urgency, dual identity, and whimsical gravitas, using restrained color and ceramic’s natural behaviors to tell a complete story with just a rabbit and a watch.

The Seeing Eye Dog

This raku‑fired ceramic dog has a quirky charm, its crackled, iridescent surface shifting between purples, reds, and blues. Oversized blue glasses give it a humorous, wise‑observer vibe, while bright yellow eyes and a red collar add sharp accents against the smoky glaze, creating a figure that feels both whimsical and soulful with a touch of mischief.

It's a Rat's Nest

This ceramic rat’s nest has a lively, story‑like quality, with small alert rodents clustered above a larger figure quietly bathing below. Textured surfaces and soft, earthy colors create the feeling of a hidden underground world, and the contrast between the bustling top and the peaceful bottom turns the piece into a gentle drama of community and shelter.

Triangle of Warmth

This wood‑fired ceramic pitcher shows the clear imprint of flame, its surface shifting from warm earth tones to cool ashen blues where heat and ash settled. The angular body and short spout give it a sturdy, architectural feel, while subtle textural variations reveal the beauty of the firing process — a functional vessel quietly elevated into sculpture by the hand of fire.

The Welcoming Priest

This raku‑fired priest radiates warmth and gentle humor, its expressive face and raised hands giving it an open, celebratory presence. The crackled glaze and shifting colors add lively, smoke‑touched energy, while the exaggerated features make the figure feel both approachable and symbolic — a joyful character with a touch of theatrical charm.

Bad Monkey

This raku ceramic sculpture pairs whimsy with quiet intensity: a serene deep‑blue head supports a bright red creature perched above it, arms folded in a protective, mischievous pose. Their contrasting colors and expressions create a playful tension, while the crackled raku surface ties them together with a smoky, ritual-like texture that hints at hidden storytelling.

和平 - Peace

This gas‑fired ceramic figure has a quiet, devotional presence, its turquoise glaze showing the soft variations flame draws from clay. The elongated face and clasped hands create a contemplative, offering‑like posture, while worn edges and exposed clay give it an ancient, resilient, tenderly human character.

Feral Musings

This wood‑fired ceramic figure has a feral, self‑aware confidence, its elongated neck, tilted head, and hand‑to‑face gesture giving it a sly attitude. The cluster of rounded forms across the torso adds an earthy, ancient strangeness, while warm, smoky kiln tones reveal where flame and ash shaped the surface. It stands like a small mythic being — part creature, part spirit, fully alive in its posture.

Raku Pup

This raku-fired dog has a lively, alert presence, its iridescent surface shifting between blues, greens, and purples like light playing across metal. The smooth, slightly muscular form and upright tail give it a sense of readiness, as if it’s just paused mid‑stride to take in its surroundings. The shimmering glaze enhances the sculpture’s energy, turning a simple canine silhouette into a vibrant, expressive character that feels both elegant and spirited.

Ruby Slipper

This ceramic red shoe has a bold, sculptural presence, its glossy surface catching light in a way that makes the form feel both playful and dramatic. The deep red glaze, darkened around the edges, gives the piece a sense of movement and wear, as if the shoe has a story behind it. Its exaggerated curves and textured finish push it beyond realism into expressive art, turning a familiar object into a striking, character‑filled statement.

Tammy's Pup

This ceramic dog has a charming, folk‑like presence, its sturdy stance and raised tail giving it an alert, almost companionable energy. The hand‑painted black and brown surface adds warmth and personality, emphasizing the simple, confident silhouette. There’s a quiet honesty to the form — a sculpture that feels both humble and full of character, as if it’s faithfully watching over its little corner of the world.

Yellow Dog

This wood‑fired dog sculpture has a warm, gentle presence, its smooth form and subtle color shifts shaped by flame and ash. The soft tans and darker accents give it a lived‑in, almost storybook character, while the collar adds a touch of charm.

Sitting Kitty

This wood-fired cat has a calm, statuesque presence, its earthy, smoke‑kissed surface giving it a warm, handcrafted character.

Scrappy Scotty Dog

This raku-fired dog has an endearing charm, its rough texture and upright stance giving it a lively, handmade character. Perched on a can-like pedestal with a smoky, iridescent finish, the piece blends whimsy with the earthy unpredictability of raku, turning a simple figure into a small, expressive moment shaped by fire.
