Most of Metz Made pieces are hand thrown on the pottery wheel. Some are hand built or use a combination of the two techniques. All pieces focus on creating something that will bring you a bit of joy with each use.

 

You'll notice a variety of styles throughout her work, as she is always experimenting with new colors, painting styles, and carving techniques. Some Metz Made work explores the natural contrast that mixing various clay bodies can provide, and often these raw qualities shine through on a finished piece using only transparent glazes for durability. Other pieces feature intricate carvings adding texture and bursts of color where the clay has been taken away. Additionally some pieces cross into a whimsical space with bold colors or sculptural elements. 

 

Everything is made with high fired stoneware clay and food safe glazes. Pieces are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe but it is recommended that they are hand washed to ensure they can last a lifetime.
