a stack of my plates used by the fabulous food stylist erin quon. we worked together YEARS ago at the slow club and became fast friends. the whole gang of us that worked the slow club in the mid 90’s all went on to do BIGGER and more creative things. it’s really quite amazing.

it started with an ear.

when i first began making pottery back in 1994, i stamped my work “EAR” with an image of my hand. for some reason, i felt strange stamping in my real name. maybe it felt too permanent or too conspicuous. but EAR is actually my name spelled backwards and i thought this would be funny, especially with the hand . . . to me it read “handmade by rae”.

i’ve unearthed stacks of these old plates with the EAR back stamp. and though some say these plates should be worth MORE money, i am selling them at our big seconds sale next week for SUPER CHEAP. out with the old . . . in with the new.

have a seat.

i have a real *thing* for chairs. in 1995 i even opened a restaurant in san francisco and called it “café chaise.” i love old beautiful chairs, i love to sketch chairs. i collect chairs. i enjoy sitting on chairs . . . let’s face it, chairs are an essential object in our daily lives. and so are plates. so i have combined the two and am working on a new series of chair plates.

you can see them here. here. and here.
