Clay has always been a passion of mine. Even as a child I was always exited to get a new package of clay to play with, and sometimes I would make things with dough in my dad's bakery.
Most of my work is in functional stoneware. I like the idea of serving food in a beautiful vessel. I feel it makes the dining experience much more enjoyable.
I also create “belly bowls” for expecting mothers, and I have been known to play a little with raku.
Much of my work is inspired by the sea. My studio overlooks Three Fathom Harbour, where I take many walks along the shoreline and get much of my inspiration. Driftwood, seaweed, starfish, jellyfish and other sea creatures can be found on many of the pots I make.
