D2 Pottery       Functional Pottery

I started my journey with clay in 1978. The first time I sat at a potters wheel and tried to center a piece of clay hooked me. I’ve been smitten ever since. Derek was always my biggest support and joined the fun in 2000 becoming the glaze master and firing enthusiast. Each piece is individually hand-formed — either wheel-thrown, hand-built or a combination of the two. The clay is a stoneware fired to 2250-2350ºC in either an oxidation or reduction atmosphere. We formulate and mix our own glazes. The finished products are safe to use in the microwave, dishwasher, or oven — and suns, fountains and other outdoor pottery can be left out all year round. Our pots are made to be used daily, combining art with function. d2pottery.com
