I make decorative and functional vessels that are made mostly from local clays. I try and convey an "ancient elegance" by combining surfaces that have depth and patina with more modern shapes and patterns. When I'm not at the Raku kiln I enjoy working with smaller porcelain and stoneware pieces.

I love throwing clay! It never ceases to satisfy my creative spirit and test my limits of patience! I started pottery about ten years ago. I was always fascinated by it yet it took me a long time to actually take my first lessons on the wheel. From day one I was hooked.
