My current work is focused on functional and decorative items for the home, as well as custom architectural work. My work is both wheel thrown and handbuilt, many times utilizing several techniques on one piece. I am intrigued by textures and use a variety of tools to achieve a unique finish. My inspiration comes from manipulating the clay. I find a great deal of satisfaction in being able to carve or scratch into leather hard clay, completely changing the energy of a pot. My glaze palette evolves with time; there are standard favorites, but also many days of testing new mixtures in the studio. All glazes used on food service pieces are safe for your culinary creations and also fine for the microwave and dishwasher, although hand washing is best.
