Welcome
I’ve been working with clay for a while now and I am realizing that one of the reasons that I am still doing it is that it puts me at ease. It takes me to a magical place where the only thing you need to bring with you is your imagination.
I use the hand building technique for my work. It gives me the freedom that I want to create my pieces. I begin with a slab or extruded piece of clay, add textures on the surface then shape my forms until I am pleased with what I see.
I either Raku fire or mid range fire the final work.I brush, stamp or trail glaze my designs.
Then it is up to the Goddesses to be kind and help me in the firing process.
At the end , it is all about having a good time and I hope that the whimsical feel of my work show that.
All of my pieces are one of a kind.
