I have been working with clay for the past 25 years now and continue to explore techniques both at the wheel as well as with handbuilding/sculpture. I received my DEC in ceramics at Ecole Céramique de Bonsecours in 1998.
My wheel production is made with a red/brown stoneware clay body and fired to mid-range temperatures with bright glazes. Using such a rich coloured clay allows me to leave parts of my work unglazed, creating a wonderful contrast to the glazed areas.
My sculptures are mostly Raku fired porcelain and my specialty is creating clay replicas of nature’s stunning endangered ocean species. For me, the rhythm of throwing provides a wonderful contrast to that of sculpting.
