I make wheel thrown pottery that is created with care, and meant to be used.
My work is electric or wood-fired and decorated with slips and glazes using brushwork, stencils, screen-printing and decal image transfer.
I create my images using Photoshop. Then, using those digital images I create physical stencils and silkscreens that I use to transfer the image onto the clay with colored slips and laser-printed decals.
In a world that is too fast, and often too dark, my goal is to make space in the day for beauty. Using a handmade object is like having a conversation with the maker, and I like the idea that I can help create, and even share in, the small moments in the day when we allow ourselves to sit down for a moment and have a cup of coffee, or a bowl of soup.
