MATERIALS

I work mainly with stoneware and earthenware, chosen for their warmth and durability. Most pieces are fired between cone 4 and cone 6, depending on the clay body and glaze.

My glazes lean toward quiet, neutral tones — warm beige, soft grey, muted blue, deep brown. I prefer finishes that feel natural to the hand: satin, matte, or lightly textured rather than glossy.

Much of my glazing is layered and tested in small batches. I allow for subtle breaks and movement in the surface, letting the kiln do part of the work.
