Every angel I create is individually handmade from stoneware clay and each one is a unique, One of a Kind piece. Since they are hand built, each one will be different in some way. Whether it be the pattern on the dress or the hair style or the shape of the wings. Something will be different. Every one is made of at least ten individually handmade parts and then assembled. This type of work very time consuming.  The number of angels I make are limited but I try to make at least two each year. 

I take great care with each Angel to create a terrific work of art that you can be proud to own or give as a gift to a loved one. Each part is either thrown,  extruded or hand built and then they are imprinted with a design. She is then assembled with careful attention to placement of each part. I manipulate different areas to make sure she seems to be flowing. I also pay close attention to the hair styles making sure that each strand and each curl has perfect placement.  Once completed she is slowly dried for at least a week and then fired in a kiln for 9 hours. She is now ready for a patina and/or glaze application and fired for the last time for over 12 hours reaching temperatures over 2100° F.
