Discover Saltwind Ceramics
Welcome to Saltwind - Saltwind Ceramics, a little studio by the sea.
The work produced in this studio finds it's sources in the muck of the marsh and flotsam caught in seaweed washed upon the shore, the wind sculpted sand at low tide, seagrass spiking into the sky, gnarly driftwood, bird song, bug buzz, and the smell of the salt air.
Production work mainly consists of four series of work- Stacked garden sculptures (with all due respect, some call them totems), functional wares, vessels, and animal sculptures.
Wavestone Bud vases
Pinched and paddled bud vases finished with blue underglaze and iron oxide washes evoke the smooth weathered beach stone shaped by time, weather, and the tides, while the fluid, layered surface suggests tidal currents.

Fossil-wood Vases
This slab-built vessel, resting on stone-like feet, is inspired by petrified wood artifacts often found on local beaches.
