Each piece is turned on the lathe, some are finish carved with hand tools and some are sanded smooth. I work to express a reverence for nature and for craftsmanship in these functional pieces. This gallery includes pieces made from Birch, Hemlock and some of our invasive Choke Cherry trees.
Most recently I’ve focused on simple mugs and cups, mostly with warm red and brown clays combined with creamy white glazes. I’m working to find a balance of simple yet interesting pots with this body of work. I want my pots to feel timeless and natural.
