About This Release

These collaboration pottery pieces are wheel thrown by professional potter Catherine Epps and hand carved by Kathryn Beals. These one of a kind pieces are made by hand from stoneware clay, and are food safe functional art.

About This Piece

This is a shallow handmade bowl measuring approximately 9.75” by 1.75”, and features three intricately carved loons on a black background. This would be suitable as a pie plate or other shallow serving dish. Although it is food and oven safe, this piece has a lot of texture in the inside surface from the detailed carving, so for ease of cleaning will be better suited as a decorative piece than a baking dish with heavy use.

The outer edge is plain white glaze. This piece has been stamped on the bottom surface by both artists. Read about the meaning behind Kathryn’s aspen leaf stamp.

Care instructions: Made with stoneware clay and food safe glazes. Hand wash recommended, oven safe.

This piece will be wrapped securely in eco friendly packaging for transit.

This is a handmade piece of art, and all handmade pieces of art will have minor cosmetic irregularities in the shape and glaze, which we will note in photos as needed. Check photos carefully and message us for any clarifications.

About This Species

Common Loon 

These black and white waterbirds inhabit lakes and estuaries and dive to hunt fish. Loons only leave water to migrate and nest, and need an open expanse of still water as a runway to take off in flight.  Loons are protective parents, carrying their newly hatched chicks on their backs and defending them from predators with their sharp bill.  Their red eyes filter light when they dive below the surface.
