Maker's Quote
My work is inspired and informed by traditional ceramic shapes, however my pieces are built using slabs of clay and then lyrically decorated, resulting in a modern take on traditional vessels.

The Process
Polly’s pieces are handmade from slabs of clay and bisque fired. They are dipped in a tin glaze, then painted using oxides and pigments attune to Polly’s unique, whimsical style.
