Thank you for visiting the Froggy Swamp website! My studio is located in the Skylands region of Northwest New Jersey. The local lakes, streams and reservoirs surrounding us supply the urban areas to the south and east with fresh water. I’ve heard the area referred to as ”water rich.” But to me it’s a swampy “wildlife rich” playground much like some areas in my native Rhode Island.
You will see the local landscape reflected in the surface textures of my
pottery. I call these free form bowls and sculptures
“organics." The clay slips and glazes can be overlapped and worked to give each piece a deep intricate topography. Wheel thrown bottles, bowls and casseroles surfaces can have a planetary geography. Take a look at the
“Rings of Saturn” bottles in my gallery.
The
Angel Moroni sculptures are individually built and are my personal favorites. I personally sculpt each one and no two are the same. These will be in your family for generation after generation and can be inscribed with scripture or an inspirational quote of your choosing. They make wonderful mantelpieces or stand alone sculptures. They are frequently commissioned to celebrate landmark life events. If you have a favorite style, I will do my best to have yours look as much like the original as possible. They always provoke conversation. Please contact me for availability and pricing. Or just call. I’d love to hear from you!
Dragons and gargoyles are fun cartoonish pieces. A favorite with the local military and peace officers, I can inscribe your unit insignia. They can be used as
architectural focal points and be mounted on walls and building entrances. Talon bowls for table ware or decoration. They have a rather gothic look and I guarantee you will not find anything like them anywhere else.
I hope you have fun perusing my
gallery and hope to
hear from you!
