HELLO & WELCOME!

Here, you can find one off pieces of unique ceramic art that I create out of my lovely backyard studio in sunny Pasadena, California. My intention is to delight and inspire with an ever evolving, colorful & eclectic collection.

I invite you to choose from my current collection of rare, experimental ceramics - each piece a singular expression, fired in unique ways to capture the untamed beauty of the universe. Right now I am particularly obsessed with the most amazing in-glaze reduction luster work, and have been deep in development of this technique for the past few years.

I generally release an online collection every 3 to 6 months. You can also view some of my luster work at Blue Raven Gallery in Rockland, Maine, on display in between their temporary exhibits. As other opportunities to see my work in person come up, I will share on social media and via email.

I also occasionally offer in person workshops, and have a course teaching How to Fire Pottery in a Microwave, available on demand.

If you’d like to be notified about future releases and other events please pop your email at the bottom of this page. I always offer my subscribers early access to online collections and first pick of the one-of-a-kind handcrafted treasures!

MY LATEST RELEASE…

The Alchemy Collection is a vibrant and eclectic curation of one off handcrafted ceramic art objects, all finished in my signature unique and colorful glaze finishes. 

At the heart of this collection is literal alchemy. The luster glazes and firing process have been developed through years of experimentation in my studio. Each piece goes through multiple firings in 2 different kilns, where the metals in the glazes are melted and transmuted: silver shifting into gold, chemical combinations transforming into luminous metallic and iridescent surfaces. This process is as unpredictable as it is enchanting, ensuring that each piece is utterly unique, and impossible to repeat.

For a few years now, I’ve been obsessively working on perfecting and refining the chemistry of these in-glaze lusters at low and mid fire temperatures. I’ve also been gathering information through endless experimentation, to fine tune the complex reduction firing process it takes to achieve these results. It’s been years of playing, tweaking, testing, and very often - when constantly experimenting - the pieces don’t work out. But I’m always chasing that colorful shimmer, and the perfection of the process, and I would never think of giving up! The kiln openings are always magical. Even if only one piece survives the firing, I learn something from each load, and it’s always enough to keep me obsessing over creating more of these gorgeous finishes. 

This collection is eclectic and new, as always, with each piece representing a fresh expression of my path and process. It reflects what my soul wants to create, my ongoing exploration with glaze, and my continual striving to grow, refine, and expand my inspiration and artist output. It’s an evolution that naturally brings change. You’ll find vibrant, functional vessels meant to bring joy and color into your space, shimmering lustery ritual pieces, made for moments of presence, and sculptural works that exist as singular art objects of wonder and beauty.
