At Wayne Village Pottery, that lovely stuff known as Maine “blue” clay is dug out of our back field. The early redware potters also used this kind of clay, and we enjoy following their tradition of creating handmade pottery which is useful, affordable and decorative.
We started making ornaments and sculptures for our Holiday Open House. The ornaments consist of an array of local birds, beasts and critters; the inspiration for each ornament typically comes from some sort of encounter we have had during the year.
This Wayne Village Pottery ornament was inspired by a visit from a Moose in the village, who ambled up our driveway to eat lilac buds, munch on the old Christmas tree, and nose around our barn for a while.
Looming large past our windows that Sunday morning, she was at once majestic and comical.
The Moose evokes the wild spirit of the woods, swamps and lake shores.
Dimensions:
6"L X 4"W X .125" Thick
All ornaments come with ribbon or wire for hanging and individually gift boxed with descriptive text as listed above.
Each ornament is crafted by hand. Because of this, no two are exactly alike.
