I create functional pottery focusing on

organic forms and vessels that encourage

use, sharing, and connection. My work

consists of hand-built, wheel-thrown, and

altered forms designed for everyday use.

​

The vessels that I make relate to sharing

experiences and connection with others,

and to the idea that, through ceramics,

experiences are formed, carried, and held

within the pieces I create. I build serving

vessels to encourage and foster

connection with others; this allows the

vessels to be filled with experiences time

and time again.

​

Central to my practice is the development

of layered, complex surfaces through slip,

terra sigillata, and atmospheric firing.

Layering slip and terra sigillata allows for

a more in-depth color palette. This, paired

with intentional facets and carving,

accentuates form and allows your eyes to

move throughout the whole piece.
