A word from the artist... "My pottery is functional and made using the potter's wheel and hand building techniques. Since I love to cook, I am naturally drawn to making bowls and other serving dishes for food. My hand-built work tends to be more sculptural and includes large oval vases and serving trays that are suitable for sushi, cheeses, fruit and appetizers. Each tray is individually made, has a unique pattern and no two are alike. My glazes are predominantly from an Asian inspired palette, including shinos, celadons, and temokus. I especially like it when the shino glazes trap carbon from the firing and my pots are "decorated" by the kiln. Of course, all glazes are lead free." |
