I make pottery that is intended for use.  My forms are controlled; however I take a purposely loose and aggressive approach to making them.  I intentionally encourage the clay to bend and shift and make use of heavy tool marks as a way of forming each pot.   I want those elements visible in the final form.  I use textured glazes that expose and enhance the natural qualities of clay.   It is my intent that the pots will capture and exhibit how they are made, and communicate this to the user.
