In working with clay, I strive to make pottery that is functional and beautiful in equal measure. All of my pots have an aesthetic usefulness to them, but some transcend that usefulness to become art objects as well.
One of the things I like the most about working on the potter’s wheel is the quickness with which a pot can be formed. And I like using glazing techniques that mimic the way in which the pot was formed—I like to glaze simply and quickly then decorate with fresh and lively brush strokes inspired by calligraphy.
