Welcome!


 

 

Clay has been a part of a transformation in my life. The work of creating pots has taken me on an amazing journey of self-discovery. On the way, I have met wonderfully generous potters who continue to inspire me. Several years ago, at a special showing at the Freer Gallery in Washington, DC, I was fortunate to be able to hold in my hands a thousand-year-old Chinese pot. Feeling the pot's weight and tracing the marks left by that ancient pottter was a powerful and uplifting experience because I felt that the pot was able to connect me to the unknown potter of centuries past. I believe that these connections between the maker and the user explain the attraction of handmade pottery and it's what I try to achieve in my work.
