Computer, tablet, and phone screens may cause the colour to look slightly different than what it is. See the colour description above.

I hand sculpted each piece of this snowman family with their tree and dog. Then I place them on this stand. I made the stand from a slab of clay and reinforced the underside to give it stability. I painted the snowman, the lady’s face and their clothes, and the dog with underglaze. After the first firing, It was glazed with a clear glaze. The embossed triangle tree was glazed with a green glaze brown that accented the embossed design.

I then put the ceramic snow on the ground and fired it in my electric kiln for a third time. The arms are twisted copper wire and pushed through the snowpeople’s bodies and glued in with epoxy. You can move the wire arms and hands to any position you want.
