Maine Lobsta Boat hand built by the Mermaid

 Maine Lobsta Boat hand built by Jen Buck

This is a serious project that Jen Buck and I had been talking about for quite a long while.  Finally, during one of our Saturday studios, we collaborated on these two boats.  We could not be happier about the outcome.  These were slab built from a speckled brown clay body.  After bisque firing, we used underglazes to give them the rustic look, and then poured on a clear overglaze. They were then high fired.  Notice that the top is removable so that you can store Maine lobster dip in there, and then fill the deck with your favorite dipping cracker.  Also note, the lobster trap were made separately by hand.  Love them.
