NKP designs – ZINNIA STUDIO

These came out of the big kiln this morning. They have only gone through their first firing. I will glaze and fire them again. These are small teapots, only about 3 inches high. I used the clay extruder I bought off of EBAY last year to make them with. I made the two part die […]

What’s a New Year without making something new? That is why i’m in the middle of a site resdesign, for this blog as well as the website. I have also opened an ETSY store ( nkpdesigns.etsy.com ) and have not as of yet listed anything, but I plan to in the next day or so. […]

The Fall Fashions are updated on the Website. The October Texas Pottery & Sculpture Guild show went phenominal this year. Lots of people came and it was great to meet everyone. And a special thank you to all who purchased my pottery, necklaces, and beads.

Bead Gallery #1

If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, please come to the art show on July 1st in the Heliotrope Gallery parking lot. Many artisians will be there including myself. I will be bringing pottery and beads — lots and lots of handmade designer beads (made by myself of course)! Take HWY 30 to University, […]

These sunny green apple beads came out of the kiln yesterday. Apple green is one of my favorite colors.

I started on these handbuilt platters a few months ago and they sat on the shelf as greenware, then they sat as bisquewear and finally I sanded and glazed them. I love how they came out. Click on the photo and you will see a larger picture where you can see the texture that is […]

These Merry Men beads are Toas Red clay covered with a clear zinc free glaze.

Ever since I saw Melanie’s teapots I have been wanting to make some myself. They are absolutely adorable, and in my late 20’s I remember I had a lovely collection of teapots. I don’t anymore because we just don’t have the room in this small house of ours — but with teapots THIS size I […]
