My pottery is high-fired and soda-glazed functional work. I am interested in taking forms out of the round by faceting and squaring. After ten years of doing raku pottery, I longed to do work that would be used in the everyday life of people's kitchens and gardens. I wanted to make mugs that you could take to work and keep coffee hot. I needed a kiln I could fire to cone 10 in order to produce pottery that can withstand the rigors of daily use. My studio at 1870 is where my kiln lives and where I can glaze my pots and accumulate enough work to do a firing.
