My goal as a crafts-person is to create a culture of authenticity as people drink their tea, set the table, or arrange flowers in their home.
My work is made to carry food, water, and plants. I try my best not to make work that is too intricate or detailed, and keep my prices as reasonable as I can as well in the attempt to build a functioning culture for everyone. I work with as many local materials as I can. Using local wood ash for my glazes for now, I am working towards gathering my own clay within the area of Fort Collins, and building mills to process rocks for my work as well. Another passion of mine is to work for other potters, as I appreciate the community oriented nature of folk and cooperative pottery making.
I love to teach, and do so at Fort Collins' Smokestack Pottery Studio.
