Item Description

Large Serving Bowl

Ceramic

3-1/2"H x 10-1/2"diameter

Drawing on a childhood joy of making almost anything with my hands, I knew clay to be my calling the first time I touched it on a turning pottery wheel. My pots evolved slowly as I earned my skills (being mostly self taught) and soon added a painter's touch, my other love and the legacy of my parents, both of whom were professional painters. The introduction of porcelain provided a key element in the development of much of my work, a marriage of classically simple wheel thrown forms, subtle and colorful floral brush decorations, high fired to a luminous finish, known only to porcelain.

Recently, I have begun exploring wood-firing my porcelain and trying some stoneware again after years away from it.  I love the camaraderie of this group-based firing technique.  From time to time I have fun with raku firing pots and sculpture at home and with some local pottery friends.
