Recent Designs

This is sampling of some of my recent work and typical forms. While there are some designs I continue to create I strive to improve and move forward with each new set. Changes may be as subtle as the way I trim the foot of a piece to completely different forms or glazes added to my line.

Slip Cast

I have been exploring slip cast design as a way to create forms that otherwise would be impractical to throw on the wheel. This includes a variety of pieces such as geometric forms like faceted cups and double-walled vessels that insulate the liquids within.

Slipcast curvy tumblers. Approximately 8 inches in height.

Wheel Thrown

This category encompasses 90% of my work, including plates, bowls, mugs, pitchers, teapots, etc. I enjoy the efficiency of making pieces on the wheel, then adding or adjusting the piece afterwards to make the shape and surface more dynamic. This often includes the addition of thick slip to develop texture and create areas for the glazes to interact with.

Wood-fired teapot and mug with shino glaze. Teapot is 6 inches in height.

Sculptural

Large scale pieces are some of my favorite things to create on the wheel. The throwing of larger pieces requires hours of focused time and effort. The glazing and finishing of them also presents its own unique challenges that often facilitate the most rewarding results for me. These larger “canvases” really force me to be deliberate about creating something special.
