I make and woodfire functional and sculptural ceramics in Walnut, NC. My work is a study of thousands of years of historical form with a contemporary take on surface.

We make a series of lamps and other decorative items. All pieces are hand built with slabs, hand carved, and fired with ash glazes.
Making wheel-thrown, functional pottery for 40 years. Figurative drawings are featured on the earthenware clay vessels using slips, etched surfaces, and brush work. Glazes and slips give more depth to the surface.
Departing from curiosity, I aspire to heighten awareness of everyday sensorial experiences, highlighting what incited a question or reaction. It is curiosity which invites me to explore memory and emotions, finding a sensual language in the lights and shadows of malleable white clay.
Pottery for us is a way of life. A lifestyle we cherish greatly. We strive to make each final piece the best it can be. Taking great care and consideration to each material, process, tool and technique that we use. We give our all into our craft and in doing so some part of us goes into the work as well.
Lively functional and decorative porcelain, each piece softly altered while freshly wheel-thrown. Mugs to candelabra/menorahs. In a soda kiln, flames decorate anticipated edges, and brighten a wide, colorful palette. For daily use and enjoyment.
