COURTESY OF STEPHANIE HUMES Stephanie Humes said one of the things she likes about creating concrete pottery is the mat finish it develops when they dry. Artique will present Stephanie Humes for First Friday Opening SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record After working at Park City Nursery selling pots and plants, Stephanie Humes decided to create some of her own pottery. “Before I started making my own, I noticed that many of the pots all looked the same to me, and I didn’t find a variety in sizes,” Humes said. “So I decided to make some that were different. I wanted to have smaller sizes that would go onto table tops and shelves in a more decorative way.” Last fall Humes started her own company, Wobbly Porch Pottery, and she will be the featured artist during Artique’s First Friday Artist Opening from 6-9 p.m. this Friday in Kamas. Humes’ pots are also unique because they are made of concrete instead of clay. “I like cement,” she said. “I like the matte finish it has when it’s done, and I like that the finish is not the same thing you will see all the time. I use color in the cement as well.” There are certain challenges in making cement pottery, Humes said. “It takes about three to four hours to set and clean a pot for use, and there are certain time restraints, so you can’t do much more while the cement sets,” she said. Humes’ pottery comes in different shapes and she makes them in plastic COURTESY OF STEPHANIE HUMES Wobbly Porch Pottery owner Stephanie Humes began creating her own concrete planters because she didn’t see too much variety in pottery sizes. molds. “The original one I started with was square, and then I moved onto round pottery,” she said. “Now I also make rectangle pots.” Humes creates different sizes of pottery within these shapes. “My tallest is an eight-by-eight inch square, and my smallest is a baby rectangle that goes down to one-and-ahalf inches tall and five inches wide,” she said. “It’s really tiny and cute.” Please see Artique, C-5 |
