Sandy Bay Clay is the private ceramic art studio of Lynn Dee located in Sandy Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras.The inspiration for my whimsical, colorful art style is derived from my life on Roatan. Natural beauty abounds, and life is a series of humorous events, which are translated into clay sculpture.I also hand-build a broad range of decorative art and functional ware for kitchen and home use. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, and handmade on Roatan. Art lovers, please call for a studio tour.
