I am a hand builder of earthenware and stoneware featherweight pots. These are simultaneously functional & sculptural, full of gesture with a personality and life of their own. I also offer workshops and serious classes in Techniques of Hand Building, Using Engobes & Textures to Create Clay Fabrics, Print-to-Pot transfer printing (onto clay surfaces) and Pinch Pots for those who want to discover the fascination of working with clay.

All of my clay work is hand-built and one-of-a-kind. Some pots do bear a family resemblance, but each remains unique unto itself. Using my own pinch-strip method of construction, I build up the side walls to capture the space within. As the piece begins to breathe on its own and a personality emerges, I yield to the nature of the clay.
