Off Menu Pots is a collaborative ceramics business created by Clara Hodges and Leigh Cronin. Clara works with the clay to hand-build or throw each pot and Leigh decorates them by hand using painting and etching techniques. They work together to make one-of-a-kind pieces that bring beauty to your everyday life. Off Menu Pots is based in the New Hampshire Seacoast.

About this collection:
"Summer Fling" In the making of these shapes the artist considered how best to complement floral arrangements but with the vibrant and whimsical surface design these pieces can stand on their own between bouquets.

About the process: Pots are first hand thrown on a wheel and bisque fired. They are then dipped in a glaze that made from scratch. Once dry, the designs are drawn in pencil, painted using oxides (pure pigment, used to color glazes, goes on like watercolor) then covered in pottery wax mixed with water. The fine, darker lines are etched and more oxide is brushed over the line work. One more layer of wax cleans the pot so the oxide is only left where the lines were etched. It is similar to a wax relief process. The pots are then put through a second firing.
