Artist's Statement

My pottery is wheel-thrown stoneware, fired to 2150 F in an electric kiln.  I often use thick clay slips-composed of several native clays-as decoration under my matt glazes.  Overglaze materials (sometimes other glazes, sometimes clays) are often applied on top of the glazes.

I like to know why the materials I buy from my ceramic supplier work the way they do, why some  glaze surfaces are matt, others glossy, why some are opaque, others transparent or mottled.  And I like to experiment with local materials--to see what happens if fireplace ashes are added to a glaze, or low-fire red clay or the dust that piles up from drilling for water through mountain granite.

I am still a sucker for the gee whiz feeling that comes from making a pot from clay dug out of the side of a hill, or a road-cut or the leavings of an abandoned clay mine.

I also try to pay attention to form and line and color and to the varying effects of heat on these most interesting materials that  potters work with.

Like other potters, I struggle to keep life in my pots, to make the hard finished object more than just a faint memory of the yielding, tactile material that was, like each new ball of clay, full of possibilities.
