Ceramic Tumblers With Fiddlehead Ferns In Blue
This pair of blue ceramic tumblers feature motifs of fiddlehead ferns. Measuring approximately 3.5 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches tall, they make great juice or water glasses. The glaze is a shiny green-blue with brown accents. The ferns are the light cream of the unglazed clay. A friend at a local flower shop gave me some fiddlehead ferns a few weeks ago and I fell in love with the shape. They are so whimsical and look like something from a Tim Burton movie. So much fun.

I create thrown and slab-built stoneware that is grounded on my formal training in Architectural Engineering. Elements of buildings and the materials used to create them continue to fascinate me. My interest in this is continually renewed as I explore the ways in which clay can imitate some of these rich, tactile surfaces. Applying the basic principles of engineering to a medium as malleable as clay is a constant challenge and one that has kept my interest for over 12 years.
My most recent work has used drawings and photographs to create intricate images. Several of my pieces draw influence from recent trips to Chicago, Japan, and the Czech Republic. The surface of each piece is embellished with architectural details, images and found hardware, duplicated from plaster press molds. The clay is glazed with commercial glazes and washes to bring out the surface texture.

Aug 23, 2018Meghan is AWESOME! She truly makes an effort to get you the product you want and the quality is superb! She made 2 custom mugs for me a while ago and I loved the result. This new project was just for my sister and after seeing the finished product I ordered one for myself! My fist contact with her was when she was in the United States and now even though she has moved out of the country I still sought her out! Great work Meghan!

May 16, 2018I am very happy with the utensil holder Meghan made for/with me. She made it a really nice collaborative effort which give me a great personal connection to what is ultimately “stuff”. Meghan was easy to work and was clearly interested in doing a great job. She communicated well. I think it was a great value for the piece and the experience of being part of the process. Sincerely, Krista
