Lidded forms, teapots & teaware made from dark colored clay bodies have been my recent focus. Seeing ceramics as man-made stone and firing as controlled geologic process, I try to bring rocky, earthy surface texture to my pieces. With glazes, I'm currently toying with ash glazing and mimicking high-fire glazes in a mid-fire electric kiln.
