About

A few words about the work.

I make pottery in a small home studio. Most of what I throw is functional — bowls, mugs, vases, the occasional lidded jar — fired in stoneware and glazed in a fairly tight palette of celadons, iron reds, and quiet whites.

I'm drawn to forms that feel quiet and useful. A mug should sit well in the hand. A bowl should hold its weight. The glaze should reward a second look without demanding one.

Process

Pieces are wheel-thrown, trimmed once leather-hard, and bisque fired before glazing. The glaze firing is to cone 6 in an electric kiln. Nothing in this studio is mass-produced, and small variations from piece to piece are part of how the work is made.

I update the home-page notice when new pieces come out of the kiln, or when there's something worth mentioning. If you'd like to be in touch directly, the contact page has the easiest ways to reach me.
