It's an over used word, isn't it? Passion, I mean. But it's the only word that truly states how I feel about creating beautiful, useful pottery. I love every aspect (well, ok, maybe not wedging clay or cleaning up) of this all consuming endeavor. I am always experimenting with techniques, decorations, glazes and styles, yet I seem to come back to a trailing leaf pattern with or without flowers, that has become my signature. I throw porcelain, white stoneware, and a wonderful brown clay with specks, depending on what I want to accomplish. I love to take an ordinary form like a bowl and take it up a notch or two to make it special.
