Soap Dish by Patrice Murtha Type_Bracelet Tourmalinated quartz

Tourmalinated quartz

This cast pewter napkin-holder/letter-holder was made by Leandra Drumm in Akron

and the use of impressions in clay fueled her love of texture

Cast pieces (using the lost wax process) are inspired by the seasons of nature - from the delicate petals of a flower to the ephemeral beauty of an individual snowflake

and jousting ketchup bottles

Soap Dish by Patrice Murtha Type_Bracelet Tourmalinated quartzWeve been working on designs for slip casting molds that are simple, yet functional. Our soap dish is our best effort yet. Recessed rows on the bottom become ridges on the top to keep your soap from getting squishy. Measures approximately 4" long x 4 wide x 0. 75" tall. Handmade by Patrice Murtha of Winter Rye Studio in Berwyn, Illinois. A potters greatest pleasure, after working at the wheel, is knowing that someone will enjoy the results. Patrice
