My goal is to create functional pottery that you can use daily in your home. – Roberta Hawks

The Process

florist-05

Sketching

Sketching helps bring 3D art to life!

Creation

Pottery. What a multi step process! Clay is like a living object with many stages and
phases needing coaxing, grooming, gentle (sometimes not so gentle) persuasion.

Surface Design

So many choices, so little time. I love surface design. Using my own designs and drawings are my preferred method, whether it is directly drawing on each piece or putting my designs on newsprint and transferring
to clay.

Glazing

By mixing my own glazes, I am able to find the perfect glaze for each clay body.

Firing

Electric fire kiln, firing to cone 5-6, oxidation. I use both stoneware and porcelain
clay because I love what they both bring to the table, literally and figuratively.

Finishing Touch

On the table, in the hand, or as a gift, handcrafted products speak of
quality, home, caring, meaning, and craft.
