I have been making wheel thrown pottery for over 40 years. Most of my work is functional stoneware items thrown on a potter's wheel. I first saw a skilled potter at work on a wheel when I was about 13 years old and I fell in love with it. I also make much of my work with slabs. My slab work includes trays, plates and lamps.
Slab work is much different than wheel work, with its own challenges. I also formulate and make all my own glazes. I have spent many years and many, many tests to get the desired effect of surface, color, and durability. Currently, my wife, Linda, and I work out of our studio in Portland, Oregon.

About
Report
Born and raised in Oregon, I have been making pottery since the early 1970's. I have formal education as well as many years of experience with clay. My functional work benefits from years of study of how people interact with pottery. I strive to make many factors come together in each piece. Utility considerations include surface texture, hardness, wear resistance, shape, size and proportion.
