Influenced by the din of the city and the rugged outdoors, I combine wheel thrown and hand built techniques to create functional and sculptural stoneware in Austin, Texas. I am fascinated by the endless puzzle-solving opportunities that clay offers which allows me to toy with classic methods without aiming for classic beauty. Working with clay feels like a collaboration between my hands and my subconscious; the result of which is full of texture, curves and sometimes a bit of surprise.

"the aesthetics of imperfection" As each item is crafted individually, transformed by the magic and mystery of the kiln, creations will differ from factory produced items. Thankfully! While I only offer high-quality, durable goods, the nature of handcrafted pottery means that slight imperfections may be present. Embrace the unique.
Work is produced in small series and each is one-of-a-kind.
High-fire stoneware.
Most are food safe and dishwasher safe.
Minimalism is lame.
