About this Product
Spider People are one of a series of functional salt and pepper shakers that are meant to explore complex relationships. They serve as working art objects, in this case dinner table condiment dispensers, designed to be placed on a table and used during a meal, but also to inspire conversation.
This is a two-piece set. Each shaker has a hollow head and a cork plugged opening. Each holds approximately two tablespoons of salt or pepper (or any fine grained spice).
The pieces are constructed of a combination of slip cast and hand built parts. Every set is unique. The clay is earthenware. The glazes are non-toxic.
The shakers are functional art works. They are fragile. Please hand wash.

Meet the Maker
I am a third generation artist--my grandfather, mother, aunts, brother and my daughter are all artists. I taught art for several years. Now I am a full-time maker. I earned an MFA degree with a major in ceramics. I also have a mother/daughter shop (the original RetroRamics) on Etsy.
How it’s Made
This salt and pepper set is hand built from a combination of slip cast and sculpted clay elements. It is bisque and glazed fired. The clay is white earthenware.
