About Me

Introduction

I’m at Potter living and working In Brattleboro Vermont. I work out of the Wheelhouse Clay Center, a vibrant maker space in the heart of our wonderful town.

At this point in my life as a potter, I make mostly large, lidded jars, often in collaboration with another artist who creates fanciful characters who adorn the lids.

I am grateful for the inspiring natural world around me here in Vermont. I most enjoy encouraging the young potters around me to find their way in clay.

What I Love about Ceramics

Working in clay is a refuge, a source of nourishment, a sheerly tactile meditation.

How I started with ceramics

I studied ceramics in the fine arts program at McGill University in the late 70s. I’ve taught at community studios in Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and southern Vermont.
