I work with a variety of clays, glazes, and decorative techniques, to create stoneware pots that are both functional and artistic. I make all kinds of pieces – dinnerware, vases, tiles, and various accessories – ranging from simple to elaborate in styles and designs. The majority of my work is wheel-thrown, and often embellished with freehand carvings, sgraffito, wax-resist designs, and/or surface textures, which adds a little extra flair to pots intended for enjoyment in everyday life. My favorite pieces to make are one-of-a-kind mugs, and I look forward to adding more hand-built elements to my practice. In addition to making pots, I enjoy studying glaze chemistry and development.
