Welcome to my website! This site serves as a digital portfolio of my work in clay. It features what I consider to be some of my best pieces from the past twenty years. I hope that you enjoy looking at my site!

I started firing my pots with wood about a year ago. During that time, I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in four separate wood fired train kiln firings at Canton Clay Works in Canton, CT. As an independent artist and together with one of the classes at the Harvard Ceramics Program, I was able to fire 15,000 cubic inches of my pots in this wood kiln. Because of this I learned a great deal in a short period of time. After many failures (cracks) in my first 6,000 cubic inches, I started using more compression in my throwing and leaving the pots a little thicker and heavier than I normally do. In the October train kiln firing I was successful in achieving not only larger pots but also pots that were free from cracks. All my recent wood fired pots hold water and are very strong because they were all fired between cone 10 to 13. I have just created a new portfolio titled “Wood” on this website to showcase my most recent work. I will be adding more images when I have time, and I plan other updates to this website as well. 2024 was a great year for me as a potter and I look forward to a productive 2025. As always, thanks for visiting!
