I build all of my vases from a rolled slab. Each vase is unique, with it's own character.  From the size and shape, the decorative painting and glaze choices, to the organic opening at the top, each vase has it's own personality.

I hand-paint my pieces with underglaze, which is then sealed under the clear glaze during firing in the kiln.  I carefully choose where the image is going to lay on the vase: where it will balance the vessel aesthetically.  

I love what I do!  Whether I am building vases, sanding, painting, glazing, or grinding the bottoms smooth, I love it.  I even love meeting wonderful people in my booth at art fairs, so stop in and say, hello!
