I began working with clay back in 2006, learning under the instruction of Tom Clarkson at PVCC. I immediately found my home. What attracted and still attracts me to clay is its versatility. You can create pieces that are smooth and fluid or heavily textured, inviting one to touch and experience the piece, not just through sight but also touch. I use both wheel- and hand-building techniques in my work. My glazes and slips tend to be more muted in color and often will vary based on thickness and texture. All of my pieces are fired in an oxidation kiln to cone 6 with a slow cooling period to encourage a more matte surface to my glazes.
