glaze close-up

I work primarily with wheel-thrown stoneware and rich matte glazes to make pieces intended for daily use in the home. And while it is still my first pottery love, after 35-plus years, coils and slabs provide a balance to my work on the wheel. There is more play in my work, more variation from year to year.

I think less in terms of production than I used to. Glaze motifs suggest forms and forms give rise to new glazes. It is a process of give and take that is always interesting and, I hope, keeps my work fresh.

My work is available at the ClayWays Gallery (5442 Burnet Road, Austin TX) and at Buck Pottery (1296 Gruene Road, Gruene TX). Check out upcoming shows and events. If you are interested in special items please contact me directly.
