Barking Spider PotteryArtist Statement
Their Christmas ornaments and decorated eggs are a departure from their traditional stoneware. These are available in a glossy snow white color featuring bright reds, blues, purples and greens, with silver and gold accents. Because they are handmade, no two are alike, and all are very lightweight for hanging on a tree. For many families these ornaments have become cherished family heirlooms that will be passed on for generations. Artist Bio
