Welcome

Glad you stopped by our blog. If you are not familiar with our work, we make porcelain and stoneware beads, pendants, pots, boxes, and many other pottery items. We have been working together in our Washington studio for over 10 years and try to attend several bead shows a year including the Tucson shows.
We love designing and working in clay. We have a full pottery studio and several wheels and kilns. We tend to enjoy researching antiquities and many of our ceramic pieces are themed with what you might call a "world beat". We love to travel so we incorporate our interests in our designs.If you make ceramic jewelry, you might enjoy the unique qualities of our original designs and also our "itty bitty" pots make great containers for beads, or candles or coins.Our ceramic dream jars, magic boxes, and porcelain personal shrines make wonderful gifts. We hope you will follow our blog and try to visit us at a show.In the meantime check out our shop at http://offcenterproductions.com Visit our little shop at Lighthouse Antiques and Crafts in Lacey on Pacific.
