I have been working with clay for almost two decades and specialize in functional forms such as cups and mugs. A mug is probably my favorite thing to make and I love making handles specialized for an individuals hand. I also tend to work with dots, carved rims, and layered earthy glazes. Bowls are so much more complex than they seem and a real challenge to make the shape stackable but also maintain a perfectly smooth curved interior. I tend to style my bowls in a similar way to mugs with carving on the exterior and layering two or three different glazes to create unique combinations. I've most often made big sets of kitchenware as gifts for a special occasion like a wedding. I do also like to make matching sets of cups, bowls, and plates to see how well I can match shape, color, etc. across the multiple forms.
