Tama Smith, North Dakota potter.
Artist statement: From clay and glaze, Tama Smith gently coaxes the soft, subtle tones of a sandstone

night.

Swan Valley Copper
The ancient technique of copper enameling is being recreated in a log cabin deep in the Rocky
Mountains, by husband and wife team, Jeri and Roger Watson.
Each original creation is a process of melting powdered glass on solid copper, at 1800 degrees
fahrenheit. Many firings in their kilns create deep color tones and a beautiful surface.
The solid copper welded borders with filigree design makes Swan Valley Copper pieces unique. Each
piece is handmade and signed with a distinctive JR insignia.
May it bring you a lifetime of beauty and enjoyment.
