New pieces for Waterworks
This summer has been a busy one here at davistudio. With the consumate help of James Collier, Leanne Shunney and Kailey Schillinger, we managed to create 24oo pieces of porcelain for Waterworks, bathroom design store extraordinaire.
Signature with handmade in NY stamp
We began production in mid June. Unlike a lot of production porcelain, our work is handmade one at a time in upstate New York, right in my studio. Leanne has been working with me for three years. Hired at the end of her senior year of high school, she was bound for art school in New York City. Coming home on holidays and summers, she pitches in when she is here. James began with me as a junior in high school. This year he has gone off to art school in New York as well. They will both help me when they are home, provided I can pry them off of Pottermore. Kailey, a life long friend of Leanne’s, pitched in when Leanne realized we were in a little over our heads! Well, we did it and now the collection is ready to launch at Waterworks Oct. 8th. Take a peek….
