The porcelain pieces you are about to see in the
Silver Ridge catalog represent my best effort over 30 years to become
one of America's favorite potters. They have a contemporary style, with
colors that not only match your kitchen or sofa but grab your heart as
well. These pieces are meant to endure through the ages. They are fully
functional, which means they go in the microwave and dishwasher. Please
USE them. The rims are solid and rounded so they stand up to getting
tossed around in the dishwasher or used by your kids. If they are not
dropped, these pots should last for centuries and be used by your great
grandchildren.
The textured items reflect the rural landscape and
lifestyle of the community of Pulltight where I live. The wavy lines are
the creek that runs through the property. The straight lines are the
fields where corn grows in the summer and the deer and turkey live in
the winter. The round bumps are the trees and bushes that make up much
of the forested landscape. The square textures are the deer stands in
the forest. You may also find a spider web or two.
My work has gained a wide following throughout the United States. It
can be found in fine galleries, gift shops and boutiques as well as in
the kitchen cabinets of homes everywhere.
I hope that you, too, will become a collector and
user of these striking contemporary craft works. Please visit one of the
many fine galleries listed under Gallery Placements. They carry a wide
assortment of my pottery and can also special order any piece you see on
this website. It is not practical for me to ship individual pieces. But
if you are ever in the vicinity of the Silver Ridge Studio-- located in
the Tennessee foothills of the Cumberland Plateau--please feel free to
give me a call and schedule a visit. I am always looking for an excuse
to sit on the front porch and share a glass of tea. |
