Five Decades of Spaniels, more than 20 years of making Spaniel Bowls.
Cindy has been a ceramic artist since the 1970s. Then, it was just an on and off hobby, but in the last 20 plus years, creating spaniel bowls, along with caring for her six Cavaliers, has been a full time job.
Cindy still has the first mug she made on a kick wheel in 1977. Ironically, she also got her first of three cocker spaniels in 1977, so she learned just how bad ear infections could get and how messy ears could be a real problem. She didn't realize then that there was a pretty easy fix. It was 1999 that she got her first of many cavalier King Charles spaniels. It was when she started showing Lyra, her first cavalier, that she learned of spaniel bowls. Another exhibitor had been a potter, and made them, but was retiring to travel. Cindy was amazed at how other exhibitors were clamoring for the last bowls made from this gal. Being without one of these bowls, she commissioned a potter to make some, but was unhappy with the result. Turns out, it's best to know spaniels before you try making these bowls, so she set about to make them herself, with a purpose and a goal to sell 400, which would allow her to purchase a show dog from a breeder in England.
Eventually Cindy got Vivienne, a beautiful girl from a very reputable breeder in England. Vivienne stuck by Cindy's side for nearly 15 years and was a great inspiration to her for all those years. Cindy currently has six Cavaliers who are her great loves as well as permanent bowl testers.
