Works in progress! Earthenware mugs with underglaze painting on them. I’m having lots of fun in the studio this week.
Our shop at 16 Marion’s Way in Chilmark is open 11-4pm Wed- Saturday this week and 2-4 on Sunday the 24th of April. Our sculpture trail is now open daily from 9-5.
More tiles fresh from the kiln. Each tile has a wire hanger on the back. Our shop is open anytime by appointment in April. Our shop hours resume May 1st. #marthasvineyardartist
I finished tiling my kitchen sink backsplash and window sill today - and I baked some bread. 😊
Most of the tiles are mine, but I did tuck in 5 by Argus Brugge. I love their work and I really like it combined with my painterly tile designs.
I gave myself permission to play with paint and my gelli plate - as a way to unclog and loosen up before starting new 2022 projects in the ceramic studio. I was feeling particularly blocked, so forcing myself to pull quick mono-prints was a great exercise. When I’m really blocked and/or rusty, I revert back to drawing in a style that I used in my late teens - 40 years ago. 😊 This exercise was about turning off the brain and tuning out the critical internal voice.
My oldest granddaughter now reads to herself in bed! And helps me solve Wordscapes. Eight years old! Time has flown.
Menemsha Heron and Aquinnah red tailed hawk 4x4 inch tiles. Our shop is open 11-6 through Christmas Eve.

“Bless this home with health and joy” Blessing Tile. We are open 11am - 6pm daily through Christmas Eve 😊
Special order rooster mugs glazed yesterday and fired in my tiny test kiln. I drew the design with wax resist and then glazed with my low fire tile glazes. Luckily I had some mugs bisked already and waiting to be glazed. These are fired to cone 01.
I’m at our shop from 9-4 today (Saturday the 11th) and the sculpture trail is still open. (It has been so mild, we have delayed taken in the pieces for winter). We are open next week Monday - Friday from 11-4. Consider stopping by on your way up or down island.
My four newest painterly tile designs. 4x4 inches. All my tiles have hangers on the back. They make great gifts and they can be exchanged after the holidays (or before) for any other tile of the same price.
A look at my inventory this holiday week. Our shop is open Wed-Saturday from 11-4 and Sunday 2-4pm including Thanksgiving Day. Our sculpture trail is open 9-5 daily through November.
Another glaze kiln unloaded. These tiles will be in our shop tomorrow. We are open 11-4, Wednesday-Saturday and Sunday 2-4. 16 Marion’s Way in Chilmark. Our sculpture trail closes for the winter on December 1st.
My mom recently unearthed this teapot that I made in my 20s shaped like a woman in her bath. The head is the lid. I’d like to create figurative, functional work again. Maybe in the slow, quiet months of winter…
I unloaded a glaze kiln today! It contained three new tile designs. I’m busy glazing more tiles hoping to fire another kiln by the end of the week. It feels good to replenish my inventory.
The apple tree in my parents’ field is brimming with fruit! These apples are great cooked into pies.
