Functional Stoneware Pottery

As a potter I create functional ceramic tableware. I fire these glazed stoneware pieces in a Gas Cone 10 Reduction Kiln. I strive to create elegant, bold, and well-designed functional wares that inspire users to feel a sense of enjoyment and comfort. As people use my pots, I hope they are drawn to the quality of my work, the weight of the pot in their hands, and the clean patterns. I create the patterns using a glaze resist technique, this leaves a small area of bare clay exposed next to a smooth glazed surface, to create a tactile experience while using the pieces.
