Emerson Creek Pottery Review and Giveaway - Ends 02-02-11
 |  |
First, I would like to Thank Emerson Creek Pottery for giving me the opportunity to do this review. I received a Shamrock Tea Cup and a Shamrock Brie Baker. I love the Shamrocks on them! The cup is just perfect for a cup of tea and the Brie Baker is a great little dish.
About Emerson Creek Pottery
Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Emerson Creek Pottery artisans are continuing the American tradition of pottery making in a contemporary way. The property on which Emerson Creek Pottery sits was originally a 500-acre land grant from the King of England. In 1825, Silas Wade aquired the land and built his two room, and two story log cabin, now the home of Emerson Creek Pottery. To the north are the majestic Peaks of Otter, visible through the treetops in winter. The land rolls gently away from the house to the creek beds. More information about this historic home can be found in the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Library, Roanoke, Virginia.Influenced by the energy of Early American cobalt decoration, owners Priscilla Palmer and Jim Leavitt founded Emerson Creek Pottery in 1977. Priscilla developed the unique technique of applying natural pigments to an absorbent glaze with a Japanese Sumi-e brush. The spontaneity of the brush stroke, combined with the accuracy of design yields their distinctively recognizable style. Priscilla's deep love of the natural world provides a multitude of organic designs for all of Emerson Creek's pottery.
Their ceramic pottery has been featured at Monticello, Mt. Vernon and the Smithsonian Institute, as well as in fine homes across America. They have had the pleasure of designing customized pottery patterns for numerous clubs and organizations.
 |  |
Their pottery is formed of clay made onsite. Each piece is hand made, hand painted and fired in a gas kiln. Each pattern is a series of carefully planned strokes. No templates or stencils are used. The patterns are practiced and committed to memory. The artists paint the pattern again and again. Each piece is alike and yet different, like flowers in a field. They are currently featuring 15 different lines of ceramic pottery, including their beloved signature line - Field of Iris, a classic since 1977. All of their work is microwave and dishwasher safe, lead free and ovenproof.
