about

All of my work is produced using stoneware clay on a potter’s wheel.  During the final throwing phase, the clay is manipulated to create the undulating waves and movement.  I love to push the clay to its limits, stopping just short of collapse (or not.)  Using this style of throwing is exciting.  I’m never quite sure if my next push will ruin the piece or make it great.

After trimming, attaching handles/spouts/platforms and drying, I bisque to cone 04. The pieces are glaze fired to cone 6 in an electric kiln.  Glazing is my least favorite part of the process, but opening the kiln after a glaze firing is on of my favorites!
