Sara Pottery Description

All pottery is handmade using the wheel and other hand building techniques. I hand paint using underglaze stains or colored clays to embellish the clay surface. The berry bowls, lasagna bakers, dinnerware, soup tureens, planters, oil candles, canisters, decorative vases and other items are fired to a high temperature and finished with lead-free glazes. The ware is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe. The use of quality materials coupled with skill, care, and vision assure unique products of high quality and durability.

Special orders and commissions are welcome and I am happy to vary the size and shape of items to suit the requirements of the customer. I participate in juried shows in the NY-NJ-PA region.

My porcelain jewelry, which I design from color clays and underglaze stains, and finish each unique piece with gold or silver lustres, is also available. This lightweight jewelry is offered in a wide variety of colors and styles.

I acquired basic pottery skills in California, living and working in the small town of Idyllwild , which is nestled in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. In 1984, I traveled and worked as a potter in Israel, using the materials and techniques of the region. On arrival back to the States a year later, I integrated my ceramics career with teaching, including several years as professor of ceramics at Monmouth University. At present I am concentrating on studio work full time.
