I don’t make pots for everyone! I make them for those that like the unusual. Those that like the marks of the maker, the fire and those that are not interested in sameness. What that means is that I make pots for a very few select people. Marks of process in making and firing influence the forms and surfaces that I create. I have embraced the forces of nature+chance+luck against my knowledge, skill , willpower and stubbornness. Choose Interesting!
