Tina Carelli is a ceramic artist who enjoys incorporating both realistic and whimsical creatures in her designs. Tina’s deep faith and love of animals is reflected in her work where she creates unique, functional pieces meant to be used, enjoyed, and to bring a smile! Each signed, exclusive ware is hand-painted with glazes and underglazes in three separate applications, finished in a clear gloss glaze, then fired in an oxidation environment, rendering them lead-free, dishwasher, oven, and microwave-safe. A portion of her proceeds are donated to several local animal shelters and sanctuaries.
