My Creative Process

I create and design my pottery one piece at a time, using the beauty and influences from the nature that surrounds me here in the mountains of Vermont.

Raw clay is flattened manually with an old fashion oak rolling pin to shape, and pressed into wooden or bamboo molds. These I then trim, design and stamp, and carefully dry before the first firing. This initial firing stage is called a bisque fire and reaches 1300 degrees. It is followed by hand brushing glaze onto each piece using old world style Hake brushes with my glaze combinations, and fired again to 2600 degrees before ready for shipping. This process produces pottery that is not only durable enough for every day use but also dishwasher safe, microwave safe, oven safe and lead and cadmium free.
