Retail Locations

Text Box: Bottles are purchased from a redemption center
and cleaned by removing all paper and plastic
labels along with the grit and grime that
accompany the bottles. Most imported wines
and liquors retain their painted labels, with the
exception of red labels. The red color
is difficult to keep after the firing
process. Kilns are used to heat the
bottles to around 1400 degrees. This
takes approximately 18 hours from
start to finish. Bowls are created when a bottle has been
formed in a ceramic mold. Bowls are used
to hold salsa, cheese spreads, dips, cheese
logs, relish, or any number of items. A platter is simply a bottle that has been flattened on the kiln
shelf and is wonderful for a cheese
log or cheese ball, sliced cheeses or
meats, or even small breads. When the bowls and platters are done and cooled, each one is adorned with a color-coordinated bead collar and cheese knife.

Welcome to my website!

Text Box: Here you will find a variety of bottles that have been recycled into useful works of art! I use clear, amber, green, and blue wine bottles, as well as several liquor and wine bottles with painted logos. Each bottle is then adorned with a color-coordinated bead collar and spreader. Take a look around and see what I have to offer!
