My work made on the wheel is focused on utility, beauty, and subtlety. I’m striving for minimal but timeless forms with planes and curves that feel good to hold in your hands. The material is a stoneware clay I mix in my studio that incorporates a local clay from Red River, NM to add color. The work is then fired in an anagama wood kiln for 3-4 days and reduction cooled.
