I am a potter who makes one of a kind pots for every day use. My pots are porcelain or small batched stoneware clay bodies and are thrown and altered. Each pot is unique. I fire my work in wood and wood/salt kilns throughout Pennsylvania.
I create pots with an eye towards function, but beauty is equally important. That is why I am drawn primarily to wood firing. I believe the natural environment contains immense beauty, and when fired pots bear melted wood ash, flame marking, and flashing, nature is clearly on display.
No two wood fired pots are the same because the surface of each pot reflects the impact of many elements; flame, ash, wood type, temperature, and the kiln itself.
