Funtional pottery

Believe or not I've never own a pottery wheel, saying that pots had not been something I feel I could make in a production kind of way, instead I love making things that are one of a kind, more elaborated and with minimal use of machinery, still wanted to make some pots and spoons inspired on requests from friends who had seen my work. 
I came up with a theme and colors, all towards a rustic natural look and simplicity. 
I'm delighted to see the beauty of this creamy glaze, this plate makes me think about creme brûlée and the hardness of stoneware is a great touch. 

I also made spoons with driftwood handles, my son helped me to collect the wood from the beach and the lake, it was fun and educational for him since he had to look for non-cracked, doable thickness and lengthy pieces of wood. 
All this work and more can be found on my etsy store.
