Below are items I brought to the Art In Clay show on Nov 11-12, 2023.
This is the only show I will be in this year.
(Because of space limitations, not all pieces are/were on display at the same time.)
Every time I make a piece of pottery, I’m trying to make a piece of art.
Something distinctive, with character and beauty:
I love textures, both visual and tactile.
Creating a beautiful textured surface, or an appealing marbled “neriage” form makes me happy.
I try to make my glazing visually textured as well, rather than just use simple one glaze dips.
Almost every pot I make is an experiment, either in the clay or in the glaze.
While I often try variations on a theme, I generally don’t make multiples of the same thing, no matter how nice.
I try to make my shapes as visually elegant as I can.
I take a lot of care to make my food bowls look light, and to feel comfortable in your hand.
