And
now...
Today, the customer list for factory
finish ceramic pieces is closed and there is a waiting list in order to be added to it. This was a reluctantly taken
step to insure that Joan was able to continue production of a high quality piece and to
make sure that the wait for a piece is within a reasonable time frame. Custom glazed
pieces are offered occasionally when Joan is in a creative mood, but these are signed with
her name and marked custom to distinguish them from pottery production pieces.
Joan also occasionally works with other artists as a
contractor or collaborator. These pieces are not Pour Horse pieces, but are sold and
marketed by the various artists involved. Joan simply provides the moldmaking and
casting/painting services. Depending on the deal, sometimes she may be able to offer her
own custom painted versions of other artist sculptures. Such pieces do not fall under the
pottery label but will be featured later on Joan's own artist pages.
