General Info
A close tie to earth and soil has been important throughout my life. I’ve always had my hands in the earth growing organic fruits and vegetables for family and friends. In summer, I hike the hillsides picking wild berries for homemade wine. In a world of fast foods and instant meals, I choose the slow way whenever possible; dinner preparation usually starts with a trip to the garden. I feel that food lovingly grown and cooked needs a serving vessel also lovingly made, so the path from garden to pottery studio is a natural one. My functional ware is made to be used. The clays and glazes are food-safe. Most pieces are also microwavable and dishwasher-safe and may be used in the conventional oven.
