Because I work in both porcelain and stoneware, my clay speaks two distinct but equally pleasurable messages to me. With my porcelain, I strive for light, flow, grace ‑ those things which bring a quiet smile, a sense of peace and tranquility. These pieces have function, but they often can be objects of beauty to be viewed as much as used. With my stoneware, my first thoughts are of the user. Is the piece intimidating or does it become part of the user's everyday life? Does it sit austerely on a shelf or does it invite warm stews and steaming soups? My stoneware should entice the user to believe that everyday utensils can be fine handmade works of craft. By working in both porcelain and stoneware, I believe I can offer more aspects of myself and my values as a potter.
