Functional ceramics: the intersection of art, science, and everyday utility.

​

I am dedicated to creating functional ceramics that blend artistry with utility. Using my chemistry background, I have developed a range of unique glazes that offer unusual textures, colors, and finishes. These glazes are carefully formulated to react under specific firing conditions, creating unpredictable and captivating effects. My exploration into the science of glazes has led to the creation of pieces that are not only visually appealing but also possess exceptional durability and functionality. It is my hope that through this experimentation and continual refinement that I can create and share pieces that are both innovative and timeless.
