The smooth, fluid feel of clay is forever fascinating to me. A freshly thrown pot, set on a ware board beside the potter’s wheel is so full of life it seems almost to breath and move.
For me, the process of finishing the pot, glazing and firing it, is about trying to freeze this vital moment of the newly thrown pot into stone.
My runny ash glazes and muted earthy color tones are meant to preserve and enhance the original vitality of the clay itself.
It is my hope that this vitality does remain and will bring life, beauty and simple joy into the home of those who use my pots.
