The work shows the process because I am obsessed with the process.
From material development and selection, to the technique for making each piece, to the wide array of firing processes employed to achieve the unique effects — the love for process can be seen in the details.
-
Materials are hand select to bring the materiality and character through to the final product.
-
I pick up techniques for making to enable specific functions and forms. Every piece is specifically made with its end use in mind.
-
A wide variety of firing techniques are employed to achieve desired surfaces. The intended firing process is considered when selecting materials and making forms. It’s al related.
-
Pottery is made from natural materials. I make it a point to reclaim and reuse all scraps of clay when possible.
Almost all items that don’t meet quality standards are donated, sold as a second quality item, or broken down to use for another purpose.
All shipping materials are recyclable, or even better can be reused.
