Each piece is hand thrown on a potter’s wheel. I pay particular attention to the way a vessel flows – forming fine shapes and fluid lines. I stretch the limits of the clay and my imagination especially when creating larger scale pieces. After a piece has been formed and has dried to the right consistency I incise, carve and/or add colored porcelain to create a dimensional scene that flows around the vessel. When it comes to glazing I use under glazes, engobes, mason stains, glazes, over glazes and enamels. Many of the glazes I use I have formulated myself. I only use high quality materials. The clays I use consist of porcelain or a special mix that resembles porcelain and stoneware. All are high fire clays (2232°F - 2345°). All pieces are a unique piece of art – one of a kind and signed.

The inspiration for much of my work comes from studying the origins and evolution of pottery from various cultures worldwide. I have a particular interest in the aesthetics of various thrown forms and the challenge of creating them on the potter’s wheel. I combine this with the philosophy of working in harmony with my materials and their natural physical properties.

Vernacular shapes and traditional methods show hundreds, if not thousands of years of refinements by countless craftsmen and have always been, for me, a deep creative well from which to draw inspiration. The swelling out of a pot from its foot to its shoulder and back in again, if kept within certain proportions, are generally pleasing to the senses. These proportions seem to be quite common to many cultures, throughout most of antiquity and tell us a great deal, not only about the history of pottery, but also about ourselves.

Born in Hampshire and raised in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, I have by natural cultural inheritance found much

Dino Tea Set

Fall 2006

This final assignment for my handbuilding class was to make a tea set. I got my inspiration from a brontosaurus and her eggs. The teapot itself is made from hard slab and soft slab construction. i threw the cream/sugar duo functional pot on the wheel as well as the two cups. i altered all forms by adding soft clay to the bottoms to create the feet. all in all i am very pleased with the outcome, but i still dont think of myself as a contemporary ceramicist. in fact, i am attracted to this because i love dinosaurs, everything else is a little too modern for me :-\ earthenware cone 04. commercial glazes.

Peruvian Watering Bottles

Winter 2005

For my wheel throwing class we were assigned a stacked object project. These are made from 4 sections: the bottom, then the same thrown shape but upside down ontop of the bottom, the neck, and the watering dome top. The idea for the dome top is to fill water in the bottle through the large hole, then tip the bottle so the water comes out of the tiny holes on the other side.

earthenware cone 04. One is about 15" tall and the other is 12" tall.

"The firing process I use for my pottery is often described as Raku, but the motivation behind my use of this technique might be considered its philosophical opposite. Rather than seeking a harmonious balance or simplicity through my work, I try to achieve dynamic and imaginative results by challenging the boundaries of gravity, material science, chemistry, and sometimes, common sense."

I have just started using the wheel about 4 months now. I have been in a class where I go to school and fell in love with the wheel. This is my first real large collection. Some pieces are missing.

Spring 2006

For my friend's birthday I threw and modified the exterior of this piece. The symbol you see is a design that she's used as her trademark for many years. I made a stamp with the symbol then bisque fired it before pressing it into the surface. I threw the lid and the spiral knob seperately. 2 glazes I personally mixed to suit her taste.
