About Me
| Introduction | I fell in love with ceramics at the age of six, but wasn’t able to actually sit at a wheel and take a class until I was 55. I especially love throwing porcelain and am intrigued by how the light moves through it. I’m interested in learning how to apply natural textures to thrown pieces and expanding my throwing skills. I have my built my own studio at home with an L&L E23T3 kiln and Brent CXC wheel. I have a very relaxed and creative attitude towards my ceramics and love to play with glazes. I really enjoy how limitless ceramics is as an artistic medium. |
