I saved up for my kiln and wheel, and carefully researched all clays and glazes I now use.

Every design begins as a sketch or prototype. I spend countless hours refining shapes and techniques.

After throwing, I trim, carve, and shape each piece by hand.

Drying is slow and controlled to prevent cracks, followed by a bisque firing at 1800°F.

Each piece is washed and glazed with carefully tested combinations, then glaze fired to over 2200°F.

Some pieces undergo additional firings for pearl luster or precious metal overglazes, then finished with hand-applied crystals or gemstones.
