Functional thrown or hand-built stoneware high temperature fired with a soda ash mixture sprayed to kiln’s ware chamber. Decorated with wax resist patterns and glaze or slips and underglaze lines.
All pieces are individually made and decorated out of fine porcelain. We make pieces using hand building techniques, throwing, extrusion and casting. All pieces are food safe and functional.
I create both wheel thrown and hand built pieces in stoneware clay often utilizing leaf and bark impressions on work ranging from functional to sculptural, nearly all fired in an electric kiln.
Each form is thrown & altered using various clays, layered slips & glazes, & fired in atmospheric kilns throughout the Midwest. I use shaped wadding to create flashing patterns on unglazed surfaces.
I make wheel-thrown ceramics fired in an electric kiln, and decorated with iron oxide decals of my original artwork. My forms are a canvas for my love of nature, and I perform every step by hand.
Hand made porcelain pottery- functional works include mugs, plates, bowls, and vases (all food, dishwasher and microwave safe). Decorative pieces include horse hair Raku and American Raku.
