The pottery of Elaine Hardman

Elaine explains the story behind her “Mommy Vases”
I went on several artist dates while on vacation at Silver Lake in western New York, and on one of them I met the fabulous Elaine Hardman. You can see Elaine’s work at Stoneflower Pottery. I lucked into seeing a demonstration that Elaine was doing in the tiny village of Perry. My mother keeps up with the local arts scene there over the summer, so she suggested we go have a look. I’m really glad we did!

This is the gorgeous bowl that I couldn’t resist! It now
sits on my counter, holding fruit.

Elaine is part of the Allegany Artisan’s, a group of artists who all participate in an open studio tour each autumn. Visit their website for more information on this western New York event! You can contact Elaine through her website link above, or through the artisan’s site, just in case you can’t resist her beautiful work!
