Talit Clips Fresh From The Kiln!

Torahs remain one of the most popular designs in my Tallit Clip Collection.  The bottom right set has already been claimed. 
They will of course be finished with gold, copper, or silver chains.

When I make larger pieces, I usually still have room on the kiln shelf for small items. A couple of new large pieces will soon be ready for firing...and some other designs will emerge.

Commissions are always welcome.

Never to late to Get a New Seder Plate

It's that time again....Above is the seder plate I made in honor of my family who survived the holocaust. It has 6 small dishes that accompany it.

Below are some other plates I have made. While it is too late to commission a plate for this Passover, I do have a couple in stock....and you could always commission one for the future. 
They make great wedding gifts!

Tree of Life- fused glass bowl

The writing on the leaves doesn't show up well in the photo but the names are there! I am pleased with how it looks. The white rim is not part of the bowl...just the rim of the slumping mold.

New Commission for Great Grandma!

The base disc is pre-fired. A second tack fuse firing follows 

Each leaf bears the name of a grand or great grandchild! Once the tree is tack fused, the disc will be slumped into a bowl

I've had a bit of fun (and challenge) working on this latest commission. It is a 14" iridized cobalt blue bowl with the tree of life as its theme.

There are 27 leaves, each with the name of a grandchild (in green and red) or great grandchild (yellow and orange)

Depicted here are two of the stages before firing....the finished bowl will appear in my next post!
