About

I've been working with clay for over fifteen years, drawn to its honesty — what you see is exactly what the material and the hands made together. My work spans functional tableware and sculptural forms, fired in a small wood kiln I built with a friend in the autumn of 2012.

The studio sits at the edge of a forest in the northwest. In winter the kiln keeps it warm. In summer the door stays open and the sound of it all — the wheel, the birds, the occasional freight train — is the best part of the day.

I make things that are meant to be used. Cups you reach for every morning. Bowls that outlast the meal. I believe the best pots are the ones that feel inevitable — as if they couldn't have been any other shape.

Each piece is thrown on the wheel, trimmed and finished by hand, then fired in the wood kiln over a 36-hour stoking cycle. Glaze recipes have evolved slowly over the years — most of them ash-based, drawing on local materials.

“Clay remembers every touch. That's what I love about it.”
