My works are hand thrown with porcelain and stoneware clays and utilize self-developed cone 6 glazes as well as my special interest, cone 9 crystalline glazes. The crystalline technique requires the careful application of specially formulated glazes as well as a long, precise, & high temperature firing schedule. The results are the formation of stunning light refracting crystals on the surface of the glaze. I use food safe glazes on all interiors rendering works of art that are both beautiful and functional.
