Artist's Statement: Working with clay has been a lifetime passion. Occasionally, a winner arrives; sometimes disasters, but it is a true addiction and the latter never stopped me.

I used to fire by gas reduction. Now, I fire in electric kilns to cone 6. However, many potter friends write me to join them in their wood fired kilns. This work is one of those pieces.
