About:  

While primarily wheel thrown, I utilize hand building techniques to create balance and transformation; the basis for each piece. Fired to cone 6 in oxidation, colored slip creates a textual quality.

About:  

My work is primarily high-fired reduction stoneware. Most is thrown on the wheel, some is slab-built, and some is hand-formed. I use slip trailed decorations for interest, and occasionally carving.

I am primarily a functional potter. I am using mid-range stoneware clay and glazes that I have formulated to compliment my forms in an oxidation firing environment.

About:  

My work is made with porcelain or stoneware clay. I wheel throw most of my pieces and then either alter them, add texture, and/or create sculptural details.
