"Spaghetti & Meatballs Pattern" Snack Plate
Process
My decorated handmade pottery is equally at home on the wall or on the table. Featuring highly-detailed illustrations and comics of my own design, a single plate functions as a narrative prompt that one can ponder while also using it to eat their mid-day meal. Original drawings are transferred to handbuilt pottery using a unique ceramic-screenprint process which embeds the imagery in the clay, fully sealed beneath food-safe glaze.
Brooklyn Red Stoneware, slip, ceramic screenprint ink, cone 6 oxidation-fired
Wall Mounting
All plates are designed with a built-in mount for hanging on the wall. To install, simply drill a standard flathead screw 90° into the wall. Then, hand tighten or loosen with a screwdriver until the piece sits snugly against the wall. Enjoy the versatility of this artwork as you pluck it from the wall to eat off of!
Care
All of my handmade pottery is fully intended to be used often and enthusiastically. For this reason, I tend to make my pieces on the "sturdy" side, so you don't have to worry about them breaking if you breathe on them too hard.
All pots are microwave, dishwasher, and food safe (Note: pieces with gold luster are not microwave-safe.)
Over time, pieces may develop cutlery markings from use. These can be removed with a dishcloth, some warm water, a sprinkling of Bon Ami, and a little elbowgrease.
Patterns
These pieces are decorated with a repeating pattern of imagery. Some pots may not contain all aspects of the pattern and your piece may not exactly match the image represented above. Examples of full patterns can be found here.
If you would like to be certain a specific image or character will be on your pot, please feel free to reach out to me on the contact page and I will confirm for you.
