I truly enjoy making pots. I love the challenge of making a good, useful pot that someone will enjoy using every day. When I sit at my wheel each day I try to focus on how this piece will be used… how the rim will feel against the lip, if the handle will be comfortable to the hand and if this pot’s form will hold someone’s interest years from now.
Recently I started working with earthenware and colored slips. This new evolution is really exciting for me, I’ve been able to bring pots to life that had been floating around in my head for quite some time.
