He makes the piece of pottery on these pieces, and she does the polishing and incised designs.

Debra also made pieces with Harvey Chavarria (1943-1991), which were signed "Debra + Harvey." Significantly, Debra does all of her sgraffito work into the clay before they are fired, which adds to the difficulty of her work.

We are pleased to carry a selection of her work at our Scottsdale and Santa Fe locations.
