Melissa Carpenter's stoneware and procelain are wheel thrown and hand trimmed. Each piece is banded with pastel colored slips and decorated with intricate trailed designs. The slip trailing process creates a pleasing relief effect. Her fully functional work compliments both casual and formal settings.
