Mad Hatter Ceramics

"Mad Hatter Ceramics reflects my passion for all things whimsical. I love creating pieces inspired by Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter's Tea Party. My favorite pieces merge form and function - they are artfully designed objects that can be used in everyday life."

Once upon a time I begged my parents for a kid's pottery wheel. I made a few awful looking things and realized it wouldn't be my gift. Haha. So I am always amazed to see such fantastic ceramics made by other people. Being able to craft on a wheel and sculpt something beautiful from nothing just by using your hands is quite a gift.

Elizabeth Langsfeld is a ceramic artist working and teaching at Creative Clay Studios in Alexandria, Virginia. Mad Hatter Ceramics is her online Etsy shop.

My favorite pieces for sale in her shop right now are the button glasses and the button vase. I think they are simply adorable. They are all different vibrant colors and have been glazed. Each piece is microwave, dishwasher and food safe which is a huge plus. You can mix and match to form a set or buy just one, maybe the vase, and give it as a gift with flowers in it.
