I like every piece that I make to look and feel one of a kind. As a result I will rarely finish a planter, mug, bowl, vase, or tea pot without some type of texture or surface design element.

I currently work out of two studios in San Francisco: Ruby’s in the Castro and Brick & Mortar.  When I’m at Ruby’s, I like to carve texture and use their nice selection of quality high fire glazes. At Brick & Mortar I like to use under glazes to get bright colors and surface patterns I’m unable to get at Ruby’s.

At both of the studios I constantly test and experiment with texture, color, and function to create unique pots. Another thing I like about both studios is I constantly continue to learn more info about pottery and techniques through the unbelievable people and pottery communities.
