Meet THe PoTTER

There’s something very centering about exploring the various textures and sensations of clay, something primal. Using my hands and the alchemy of clay bodies and glaze particles, I can translate images from my brain into shapes and forms that provide every day beauty to the user.

I enjoy hand-mixing all of my own clay and glazes in my Lake Superior studio, where the ever changing view out of my window never ceases to inspire me. I find deep satisfaction in lifting a freshly thrown pot off the wheel and placing it amongst others on a board, awaiting the next firing. The excitement of opening a kiln after a 24 hour long firing is just like opening up a present; anticipation and a certain level of giddiness at what we might receive upon opening it.

Holding those new pots outside in the sunlight, catching the details and depth of glaze, is supremely satisfying and calls me back to the wheel again and again.

It is my hope that my work will frame your favorite bouquet, enhance your morning ritual, or provide the perfect vingette for your garden dinner party with friends.
