Kiawah Island discovers Jane Bess Pottery Sea Life Ornaments

2010-03-10T13:30:00.000-05:00

The Heron Park Nature Center at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is my latest wholesale account for my sea life ornaments. While taking a tour of the SC Aquarium, the manager at the Heron Park Nature Center spotted my handmade pottery sea life ornaments. One thing lead to another, and I was receiving my first order for Sea Turtles, Crabs, Seahorses and Starfish. The staff of the Heron Park Nature Center have been wonderful to work with, and I look forward to the day when I can hand deliver my pottery so I can see the beautiful beaches of Kiawah Island that I grew up with. The South Carolina coastline continues to be a source of inspiration for me.

S.C. Aquarium now features Jane Bess Pottery

2010-03-10T13:08:00.000-05:00

In December 2009 I received a phone call from the buyer for the South Carolina Aquarium located in historic downtown Charleston. She stated that my pottery work had been on "her radar." Now my adorable sea life ornaments can now be purchased at the S.C. Aquarium. You will find Sea Turtles, Crabs, and Seahorses for sale at their beautiful gift shop. I make each ornament by hand in my Edgefield, SC studio using a stoneware clay, and they are signed and dated. You can check out the aquarium website here. http://scaquarium.org/

Sea Turtle Ornaments: Handmade pottery stoneware Sea Turtles are individually made by myself in my Edgefield, South Carolina studio. Each adorable sea turtle has an embossed pattern that I rub into the clay by hand and then each is glazed by hand after the initial bisque firing process. And, as always I use several glazes to create beautifully layered effects. Each ornament is unique and original with subtle variations in pattern and color...just like a real Sea Turtle!

Imagine sitting along the water's edge watching the sunrise and ocean tides come rolling in. Imagine the calmness and peace that the ocean has upon you as you start your day.

Jars, bunnies, and bowls

2009-03-14T12:47:00.003-04:00

These small lidded treasure jars are just adorable. There are so many wonderful uses for these jars. Just imagine them filled with your favorite Easter candies, or perhaps clustered together on an entrance foyer table. The handmade pottery bunny rabbits are must haves as well. And, the dark ocean blue serving bowl with rope handle is a custom order piece I did for a new customer. This bowl will be proudly displayed on her veranda in the center of a small square dining table. When she saw the matching blue pottery wine glasses, she decided she needed a set of those as well.

Springtime is a wonderful time of year to bring out your Jane Bess Pottery pieces and enjoy outdoor entertaining. Add to your pottery collection with handmade pottery plates, wine glasses, seashell serving bowls, and the list goes on. Much of my work is one of a kind, and available in a variety of glaze options.

Medallion Pottery Pendant Necklace

2008-11-07T13:26:00.002-05:00

Another great looking pottery pendant necklace. This one is in a soft shade of seafoam green with the natural clay color breaking through from the textured pattern I used. Adorned with 3 beads and on a genuine leather necklace with silver clasp. A great gift for any woman on your holiday Christmas list.

Diamond Shaped Pottery Pendant Necklace

2008-10-30T02:26:00.002-04:00

Recently, I've started designing and making original handcrafted pottery pendants. Each pendant is handcrafted utilizing a combination of pretty beads and copper wire. The pendants are sold with a 16 inch 3mm genuine leather necklace with a .925 sterling silver lobster clasp. The necklace is available in black or a rich chocolate brown. Different patterned textures and layers of ocean blue glazes create a stunning pendant necklace. This is a must for your wardrobe.

Triple Glazed Turkey Serving Bowl

2008-10-29T13:07:00.000-04:00

Another great piece of pottery from today's kiln firing. This bowl sold just about as soon as I put it on the shelf. It was purchased by a customer of mine that is taking it as a hostess gift to friends in Mexico!

Handmade Seashell Pottery Bowl

2008-10-29T12:43:00.000-04:00

Just unloaded the kiln today, and I have more amazing results. The triple glaze on this seashell bowl makes it very beautiful and a great addition to the beach house. Not only is it a decorative piece of pottery, but it is also functional with food-safe glazes.

2008-10-27T13:43:00.000-04:00

The seashell bowl is one of my favorite pieces of pottery that I've done. The bowl is triple glazed and truly captures the creative passion that is found within my work. This bowl is both decorative yet functional and will become one of your favorites of your pottery collection as well. Each bowl is uniquely one-of-a-kind due to the reaction of the layers of glaze and the details that I put into my work.
