My pieces are all handmade. I roll out slabs of clay, make impressions with stamps and textures and then form the clay into the shapes I desire using molds. After pieces are bisque fired I apply a range of glazes and washes to their surface. Texture is always prominent on my external surfaces so I always use glazes and washes that enhance the look and feel of my patterns.

I use light and dark stoneware clays. I choose them for the way in which they compliment and accommodate my textures–much as a canvas does to paint. I use glazes and washes to achieve just the right effect on each piece. All of my pieces are functional and lead free.
