For 18 years I have been making pottery on a daily basis. My focus has been on local clay material and woodash glazes as the starting point. I have build many kilns and fired with many fuels. I have been influenced the most by southern pottery and the material itself. I feel lucky to be able to make wood fired pottery from the same clay that has forever served potters in the coastal regions of the south. The use of local clay gives me a connection to history, tradition ,and the natural world and feeds my passion to create pottery that will last a lifetime and beyond.
