For nearly ten years I have had a small studio in my garage where I have been able to enjoy the simple, exciting,  yet sometimes frustrating labor of love that pottery brings.  Most of the work I create is functional ware from the small mugs to large platters and lamps.  Teapots are still such a favorite, I do not believe I will ever tire of making teapots.  My work also includes Raku ware which is considered to be more decorative in function but so enjoyable to produce because of the unpredictable method of firing.  Ultimately, what I really treasure are the simple, functional, skillfully thrown pieces that can be used and enjoyed for many years and generations to come.
