I like to make pots that serve a purpose. I believe that the more functional an object is the more beautiful it becomes. Objects that are used everyday and become constant companions don’t just serve a practical purpose but also hold sentimental value. I like to think of the pots that I make as uncomplicated objects that have distinguishing design features. My pieces have grown from functionality, for example, the flared lip of a bowl so it can be drunk from, or a pulled handle straight from the side of a mug so it fits ergonomically in your hand. I combine this emphasis of form and function with hand mixed glazes. These glazes may appear subtle but when looked at with closer inspection have a world of detail.
