"My goal is to create beautiful pots to grace our dining table presentations and to make cherished pots that people will enjoy using every day. The pots consist mostly of salad bowls, mugs and serving dishes and they are decorated with colorful and hand-painted floral designs. They are usually wheel thrown but some are also built by hand. They are durable and dishwasher safe.
I also make more traditional pots using layered glazes to create special effects in the glaze.
Sometimes I create pots with textured surfaces by hand carving or by using stamps to make impressed designs.
I occasionally make larger decorative pieces either on the pottery wheel or by hand using clay slabs and coils.
Each summer I create contemporary pieces by doing raku and barrel firings in the garden.
As you can see, I’m always experimenting, and so my pots are all unique. It’s the challenge to master all kinds of pottery techniques that keeps me interested and I’m happy to offer them for others to enjoy."
