Pottery

My Process

I "throw" functional and unique pottery on the pottery wheel. I like to use carving, texture or alterations on my pieces to enhance surface design and enjoy glaze and slip design experimentation. My pieces are all food safe and meant to be used. To connect my pottery addiction to support of animal welfare, proceeds go to animal rescues/shelters and support groups, and other worthwhile causes.

My Inspiration

I find inspiration from online workshops and instruction from functional potters like Danny Meisinger and Sarah Rolland amongst others.

Fun Facts

I'm looking forward to retirement in four months... I'll have more time for pottery!
