    What was THAT!!???
    Kinda looks a bit surprised to see us, or maybe he's just surprised he's here. Doesn't look happily surprised either! Maybe he walked in on his wife with the cable repair man! Or worse -maybe caught a glimpse of grandma naked!! Eeeww. Some things you just can't unsee!
    Talk about having conversation - this piece can certainly serve up some! This one of a kind pitcher will make a great addition to your home. And he's food safe & dishwasher safe. Keep him in the fridge to serve up cold beverages. Just the thing to cool you off in this miserable summer heat .
    A woman looked at one of my jugs and commented, "Wow, you must be totally off your rocker to come up with ideas like this." I leaned over and said, "Just a bit today, yesterday I fell off completely."

    "I Know Ugly!" -
    Artist, Monika VanHine
    With many people today focused on beauty and having everything looking just right, why not pay a little attention to those things in life that aren't so cute and cuddly? So, let's forget perfect for a while. Let down your hair, kick back - and let's celebrate ugly!!
    My ugly face jugs start their life as a shapeless lump of clay. After much poking, prodding, and smooshing - whoila! An ugly face jug is born. Some are only mildly afflicted, others have serious cases of ugly. And a few are even fugly! Which do you prefer?
    About the Artist:
    Not sure where to begin, so let’s start in the middle. I have found my true passion in clay! Took pottery classes back in college in 1999, but lacked a place to work. Then I moved to Tennessee and finally got a studio of my own. So I've been working on the potter's wheel since 2005. And I began making whisky face jugs in early 2007. I first started offering my work at local craft shows in mid-2007. Many of my pieces are sold through art/craft shows in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee. Most people find that my work swings the gamut from whimsical to downright creepy (depending on my mood) with many degrees in between. Hubby says I make whimsical and funny stuff three weeks out of the month and the other week I make evil. This was obviously made during one of my ‘happy’ weeks. Now, you have an opportunity to collect one of my works without having to go to the show!
    Every piece is thrown on the wheel, altered/sculpted by hand and then fired & glazed. My work is hand carved - NEVER MOLDED! Each jug is unique. No two are ever exactly alike - although they may seem similar - they are just part of a series of themed jugs. Dishwasher safe, functional piece. Each piece is signed on the bottom.
