		  Welcome to the Holdread Studio
		...
	      
		
		  The Holdread Studio has produced clay artworks in Tucson since 1978
                  developing custom designed, handmade 
		  sculptural tile of stoneware clay 
		  with strong landscape, geological and environmental themes. 
		  The geological mirrors and geode-like reptile rock boxes 
		  are likewise inspired. 
		  Joy's current focus, the reptile rock boxes' interiors celebrate water in the 
                  desert. 
		  She practices glazing techniques that  prevent ground water contamination.

									Reptile Rock Boxes include igneous, sandstone, 
									and river stone styles. 
									The interiors are glazed to represent water. 
									Two boxes are shown – closed on the left, 
									open on the right.

          | Desert Born Vessels use 
		  landscape inspired forms and colors, 
		  with overlaid or incised designs and perforations.
		  
 | Footed platters or bowls hold fossil impressions such as trilobites, while lizards and  other creatures adorn the tripod feet, or pedestals. |
