EARTHEN VESSELS POTTERY, Nancy Wall, Victoria

I ENJOY CREATING CLASSIC VESSELS THAT BRING DIGNITY & BEAUTY TO THE DOMESTIC RITUALS OF DAILY LIVING. When not in my studio, you'll find me hiking local trails - enjoying the forest and wild flowers, watching birds, or collecting rocks/shells from nearby beaches.

Tableware items are made from stoneware clay (midfire/ cone 6) and include pieces
such as: casseroles, pitcher & tumblers, cream & sugar, mugs, serving bowl sets, pie plate, noodle/rice bowl, butter bell, trays, teapots, vases, Ikebana and more. All glazes are food safe.

A sampling of some of my underglaze painted bowls, and mugs ($35-$45).

Below: This collage offers an idea of some of my glazes; and (bottom, right) a 'Neriage style' bowl using colored clay (blue) along with white clay, wedged together and thrown on the wheel to create a swirling design - covered with a clear glaze.

Below: Raku-fired decorative vessels - glazed or burnished with horsehair fired on.
I enjoy adding pine-needle weaving to the rims.

Nancy is a founding member of the South Vancouver Island Potters Guild (~100 members), and is grateful to participate in a hands-on group that meets twice monthly - GARDEN CITY POTTERS. I show/sell my pottery at local art shows and annually in mid-November at a local gallery.

CARING FOR YOUR POTTERY: Avoid thermal-shock. For instance, do not place a cold casserole from the fridge into a pre-heated oven.
