I experimented with clays, molds and painting techniques for several years until I created an image in relief so realistic that people wonder if the branches and flowers are actually on the surface! Each tile, plaque and dinnerware piece is unique, individually sculpted from custom-made porcelain clay. Colorful underglazes are meticulously hand-painted, and a glass glaze is applied for a protective finish. All glazes are fired into the clay at a high temperature. The result is a work of art that is as beautiful to touch as it is to behold. I love that people can collect and enjoy Stillwater's beautiful, handcrafted pieces for years to come, to accent their fireplace or kitchen, add elegance to a dinner party or hang on a wall to be enjoyed on its own. Our durable porcelain art is weatherproof, chip-resistant, and microwave and dishwasher safe.
