  What is a "Special Theme" ?

When you need a Kaolin Pottery artwork that speaks uniquely to your request(s) by either combining concepts within the website, or even coming up with something new, then the project becomes a special theme – guaranteed to be  one-of-a-kind!

            Special Themes satisfy your inner artist wannabe by having your input                  input                     reflected in the final creation. Exciting? You bet!                                                       

Steve was gifted with this Folk Art styled wall hanging for his birthday. By inserting a third body and his photo into an iconic American classic painting, Steve is depicted as a budding farmer with a soft spot for hotdogs! This piece integrates 3D clay elements ( frame and its decorative beans and leaves, hotdog, straw hat, trees in background) with 2D print.

Safari themed 360 degree rotating sculpture includes sentimental details including the family cockatoo, medals, favorite wine, photos, company logo, and  the couple's loving bond signified by the caressing elephant trunks.                        

Eddie & Scott commissioned this "Love Train" plaque for dear friends who both worked for the railroad transportation system. The wedding date was 11/9/12, as indicated on the front of train. Flowers popping out of the smokestack matched the wedding florals.

                             When Peg & Miles saw our colorful hanging hot air balloons they knew exactly             who should who shouldbe in the pilot's seat – their adorable cavachon dog, Baily!

40 years of success at Arista Air Conditioning & Refrigeration was the impetus behind this sculpture. Sons and partners in the business, Scott and Craig , had us recreate the original van and company logo with a leopard bikini clad model posing on the roof. Who's the photographer? Their father, Stan, company founder and industry innovator – who also is a photography hobbist! One license plate reads 1973, the other, 2013.

Gymnastics City in Cortlandt Manor, NY, an award winning center teaching gymnastics and personal develment through the activities promoted at the facility, announced its 25 years of success with this artwork. Featured are the 4 grandchildren of owners, Anita & Vinny, tumbling and posing around a #25 atop a draped balance beam.

Ronna & Steve needed a finishing touch for their renovated bathroom. They provided us a sample washcloth and the directive to create a  whimsical, bathroom themed conversation piece while complimenting their tasteful decor.

         How would a wife surprise her husband with something that combined his soft spot for giraffes plus his devotion to the Yanks?   "Saving The Day" custom clay sculpture did the trick!

                     Brian's enthusiasm for jazz extends beyond music with his commission of this upbeat "Sax in Blue".      The sculpture can either hang from the black cord on a wall or ceiling, or stand upright in the clay base we provided.
