I make highly decorated functional pottery with pattern and color. All of the color is added by layering thick, colored slips over hand-cut paper stencils. All pieces are finished with a black wash and clear glaze. Handcrafted items enhance our daily lives by giving us all a moment to stop and appreciate someone else's time and view. The objects are uniquely to the artist, and the new owner brings it into a fresh setting and interacts with it in a different way.
