Sue Tirrell

Aug 22nd - Sep 25th, 2013

The next two months at The Clay Studio are all about animals. We start the animania with 100 new dishes from our most popular shop artist, Sue Tirrell. These are substantial country wares, each unique and  drawn with the confidant hand of a woman who knows her farm animals.

But wait, it's not all cute and fluffy chicks and piglets on this Montana farm. Mugs with a hen on one side have a stump and axe on the other, bunnies are chased by foxes, and bears are out hunting. New this season are white horses and billy-goats as well as hefty rainbow trout. These platters are a perfect foil for a home cooked turkey or green beans, and are a great Thanksgiving hostess gift.
