The primary focus of my work is function. My intention is for the pieces I create to serve a utilitarian purpose. With utility in mind, I utilize the potter’s wheel as the basis for the pieces created and often keep the forms straightforward, balanced, and comfortable. I regularly look for opportunities to alter the thrown forms by stretching or cutting and assembling. Visually, I like to create contrasts throughout the piece with the use of shape, texture, or glaze color. Appropriate glaze application is also essential to enhance the qualities of a given piece.
My ultimate goal is for my work to become a part of someone’s everyday life and to serve as a focal point in that person’s serving, entertaining, or daily routine.
