BACK TO ARTWORK Artist's Statement There is nothing quite so pleasant as using a well crafted, creatively designed piece of porcelain. My surface designs are inspired by intimate forest scenes, the interplay of light and shadow and random patterns of overlapping leaves. I formulate and blend my own clay, and glaze, and fire the porcelain in kilns of my own design. Kendall porcelain is lead free and safe for food. When baking, do not preheat the oven. Also, do not place a piece directly on hot stove-top burners or elements. I hope you enjoy using my porcelain for many years.
