Artist Statement:
Each piece is hand thrown on a
potter’s wheel. I pay
particular attention to the
way a vessel flows – forming
fine shapes and fluid lines. I
stretch the limits of the clay
and my imagination especially
when creating larger scale
pieces. After a piece has been
formed and has dried to the
right consistency I incise,
carve and/or add colored
porcelain to create a
dimensional scene that flows
around the vessel. When it
comes to glazing I use under
glazes, engobes, mason stains,
glazes, over glazes and
enamels. Many of the glazes I
use I have formulated myself.
I only use high quality
materials. The clays I use
consist of porcelain or a
special mix that resembles
porcelain and stoneware. All
are high fire clays (2232°F -
2345°). All pieces are a
unique piece of art – one of a
kind and signed....
