Finally able to indulge a long standing fascination with clay, I began taking classes at the Potters' Guild in 1988 and became a member three years later. I enjoy making utilitarian pots and vessel forms of porcelain fired in a reduction atmosphere. In my work it is my intention to celebrate the special qualities of objects made by hand and explore and exploit the curiosities of the clay/glaze/firing relationship.
