Porcelain
Wheel Thrown, Slip Trailed with Celadon Glaze
“My work is highly informed by studies in the history of ceramics, especially Chinese Song dynasty porcelains. I love the glow of translucent porcelain and a saturated iron or celadon glaze. I am fascinated by pattern and repetition of surface design. My challenge is to gracefully fit that design onto a three dimensional form. The throwing, slip trailing and other decorative processes are contemplative but I intend my work to be used as well as contemplated.”
