Scoville's Studio

After we bought our house,the next big purchase was my kiln! I already owned a Brent Model B Potter's wheel. The guys +Clayscapes Pottery in Syracuse, NY set me up with my Skutt Kiln,clay and glazes. My father hooked it up for me in our basement and I was soon officially in business. After some experimenting I found my niche in functional pottery. I have taken everyday annoyances and solved them in a beautiful way. For example-slow down dog dishes, no more stinky sponge sponge holders, put spoon here spoon rests, double dip chip and dip bowls for when you can't decide!! Also, being a coffee snob lover, I make mugs. Nothing make me happier than knowing someone is drinking their morning coffee from MY MUG!  I think of function first, then design- the weight, size, handles and how many different ways people hold mugs. I see a lot of mugs out there they look visually pleasing, but I couldn't imagine drinking out of!
 I purchased a digital kiln, so I also do some glass slumping as well.I slump bottles into unique cheese boards. These make easy gifts and conversation pieces.
