I feel my role in this world community is to make things that reflect our culture's needs, habits and rituals. My
work is made from a porcelain and stoneware blended clay that is durable for everyday use. It is
high fired in reduction atmosphere in a natural gas downdraft kiln. I use the
potter's wheel and
a slab roller to construct
my pieces. There are several layers of slips, glaze and wax used to
decorate my creations
with contemporary yet
timeless designs. Also, I use sumi brushes to create whimsical scenes
of nature on some of my work. I enjoy the usefulness of the
ceramic object. Pieces that work well in our hands and in our
kitchens. Entertaining
our tactile and visual
senses and also our families and friends with service. Pieces should be
fun to use and fun to
look at and proud to give. |  |
