My Florida Travel Collection

In February, I traveled to Florida. Below you will find the inspiration for some of the many pieces I created using wheel-throwing, hand-building, surface decoration and glazes on my one of a kind pottery for a unique Spring Collection. These pieces are now available and for sale to all collectors of beautiful functional handmade pieces of art.

Food and Pottery – Week 6

Powisset Farm CSA week six included beans, potatoes, zucchini and cucumbers. AND a visit with the local fish vendor, Jordan Brothers Seafood.

Each week, I treat our family to fresh fish purchased at the farm. I always ask, “What’s best this week?” and I have never been less than spellbound when I eat that fish for dinner. This week’s fish choice… scallops.

Jordan Brothers Seafood is a family run business out of Brockton. They sell at other local markets (Dedham on Wednesday; Dover on Tuesday and Saturday), making it easy to purchase fresh local fish close to home. Always polite and knowledgeable, having them at Powessit Farm is a real treat!

To go with my scallops, I picked yellow and green beans from the field and blanched them to retain that little bit of crunch.

The Food and Pottery Connection for Week 6 ~

Serve your local fish and veg on a handmade pottery plate. These two hang on the wall at Isabella Restaurant in Dedham, Ma as part of Dedham Square Artist Guild roving gallery. BUT they are for sale and can be purchased right off the wall (so to speak 🙂 )

Pick one up for you and your dining companion!
