Petrified Forest

Stephen Day, the artist behind Petrified Forest, creates hand-built stoneware bowls & tiles with leaf and tree themes.

"Each unique piece begins with a quiet walk in the woods, where I select the leaves that make every bowl or tile a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Back in the studio I roll out a thick slab of Pennsylvania stoneware clay. Colors are applied, then leaves are pressed into the clay. Fired to over 2000 degrees, the finished piece is a reflection of the woods and fields and streams that surround my studio in rural Berks County. Post firing the surface is protected with a quarry tile sealer. Bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe, need no special care."
