Up for auction is a LARGE meditating/Buddha face jug made by me, Heather Gwinn. I've been very fond of some of the face jugs I've made in the past but I must tell you---This is probably one of the top three jugs I've wanted to keep for myself. It's 13 inches in height and 28 1/2 inches around, at the widest portion. It holds 186 ounces of liquid...(Just a little over 23 entire cups)...It's big! I took tons of photos for this one so you can view it from all angles. I was REALLY happy with how the glaze came out....It has loads of character--- I've decided to start doing some of my own listings because I really feel left out of the loop when it comes to communicating with customers. So, while Rob will still be doing some of them from time to time, I think I should jump in and do most of them myself. I suppose it makes sense, really... Because he can't tell you as much about my work as I can :-) This new meditation/Buddha face jug and some of my most recent face jug listings are very special to me. The jug portion was thrown by my dear friend Jeff Brown. He is originally from North Carolina but has been in the New England area for several years and has made quite a big name for himself. We decided some months ago that we wanted to collaborate on some face jugs. I must tell you that it's quite an honor to have such a fabulous potter create a blank 'canvas' for me to put my faces on. If you've ever owned (or currently own) any of my face jugs, you'll see that these new jugs are made with the highest quality and standards. Jeff doesn't mess around when it comes to good work. He is incredibly talented and dedicated to his art. is the link to his site--- /life.htm I think you'll quite enjoy reading about him and perusing his site/pottery. For people who don't know me yet or are looking at my work for the first time, I'm not sure what to write about myself. I think this is the tricky part for most artists. I mean...what do you say about yourself? You know? Rob is much better at this stuff because he can say nice things about me and I really kind of can't. All I know is that I really love what I do and always keep my fingers crossed that my art will make someone smile or touch someone to the point w they want to proudly display it in their home...workplace...etc...etc I absolutely adore the thought that my work might someday be passed down from generation to generation, just as it's been done with the rest of my family's pottery. Being a Cole potter is a true honor and I hope I am doing my best to represent all the wonderful folk artists who have passed on, as well as the ones who still continue to put their hands in clay every day. My work ethic, in a nutshell: I try my absolute best to make every single face with a new idea in mind. I'd hate the idea of anyone purchasing a face jug from me and then seeing a duplicate in someone else's collection. I'd prefer, instead, to know that each jug is as original as I can make it. Like a snowflake or a fingerprint. Most nights I sleep with a sketch pad and a mini recorder on my night stand. Being an insomniac, I have some pretty crazy dreams and nightmares and I always want to document them. It's darn good fodder for these faces---Needless to say, I don't ever run out of ideas... I think it's more important than anything else, for everyone who buys a piece of my art, to know that they are getting a piece of my mind & heart at the same time :-) If you have any questions, feel free to throw them my way and I'll try to get back to you as quickly as I possibly can. Have fun bidding & good luck! ~~~~~~~THIS IS A FREE SHIPPING AUCTION~~~~~~~ Side note: Please be honorable and do not bid on this auction unless you're truly interested. Check out my feedback if you have any questions or concerns about my policies---I wrap and protect anything that's delicate till it's practically bulletproof. Tfore, please ...
