Ceramic Art

I have been creating ceramic art impressions for decades.  K Boyland Designs was established in the 1980's.  I am the owner/artist since the beginning.  My daughter Stephanie occasionally helps out in production, we are working on some amazing new work for the 2019 season!

Before smashing things in clay and sculpting faces I was a medical photographer at Georgetown University Medical Center, worked for a government contractor as a computer programmer as well as starting and managing their art department.

I am capturing the delicate details of real plants and the texture of wood directly onto the surface of stoneware clay. Ugly heads, faces and tree spirits are sculpted into the wood textured clay. The clay works are fired in a kiln twice.  The clay works are all one of a kind, signed and dated.  They are designed to be hung on the wall or displayed on a table top.  The clay pieces are not to be used to serve food, it is art.

The digital prints are images of original impressions in clay. Two of the originals in clay and digital lithographs are archived permanently at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

Take a break, have some fun and see the impressions in person at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.  Stop by my merchant shop to say hey and take home a lasting memory of the festival and days gone by.
