About this Artist

Peggy Crago

"My studio looks out onto my garden. Between pottery and gardening, it seems my hands are never clean."

Perhaps as a result of growing up in a large family with no room for clutter, Peggy Crago came to appreciate objects that are both functional and beautiful. She enjoys experimenting with classical forms, color, and unique shapes. An extensive background in fine art and sign painting developed Crago's brush and layout abilities; but her first experience with pottery forever changed her artistic direction. She was especially drawn to majolica, with its bright colors and enduring elegance.

Crago makes all her works by hand using a variety of techniques-- throwing on the wheel, rolling out slabs, extruding shapes, hand-modeling--often combining several techniques in one piece. Her works are designed to be completely functional, yet beautiful enough to be displayed.

Crago uses traditional red clay because it is less prone to chipping and cracking than white earthenware, and because the color lends a beautiful contrast and warmth to each piece. Her clay and glazes are lead-free. The stains are stable and food safe, even for acidic foods such as orange juice and tomatoes.

charming piece
I selected this small ceramic tray based on how it would complement my existing collection and the quality expected from works presented by Artful Home. It was very well packed and arrived in a timely fashion.

Truly beautiful!
This was my first order from Artful Home. I was impressed with the service and the personal touches (a signed card from the actual artist). The tray itself is beautifully crafted. It can serve many different purposes - a decorative catch-all for keys or jewelry; a small food tray (olives, cheese, butter). My daughter collects items with dragonflies on them and this is one of the best gifts I've found in a long time.

Poppy & Dragonfly Small Tray
This is a really beautiful piece. The colors were true to the photo. Size wise it was a bit smaller than I anticipated but my friend loved this as a birthday gift.
