I really enjoy the technical aspects of any of the mediums I work in, and ceramics is no exception. Glaze application is a big focus of my artistic practice. I love dark clay, and I look to create a lot of contrast with glazes. When I'm not making functional ware, I enjoy creating whimsical pieces like the fish vase you see below.
