I have been making
pots since earning a BFA degree from Alfred College of Ceramics, Alfred, NY, in
1973. It has been a satisfying career bringing forms to life and knowing
that they are enjoyed by many people.
My work has gone through quite a few changes over the years. I started
with stoneware and switched to porcelain in 1981. Recently, I built a new gas
fired kiln and have returned to making stoneware while continuing to make
porcelain. Even though I try many different techniques and ideas, I
always have strived for simplicity and elegance in my designs. I like
simple forms, clean lines, and for the most part, glazes in subtle colors without
painted designs.
I like traditional Native American pots, Asian pots, Scandinavian pots, and pots
with good form and glaze. They are a source of inspiration. I have never
tried to be an "academic" potter. I just keep making pots, and they always
seem to find a home.
All the dinnerware is dishwasher and microwave safe. It is meant to be used and
enjoyed.
Art pottery and functional ware. Always new and different work. Visit a long-time, professional “Alfred” potter and enjoy great refreshments.
Directions - Take County Rt. 12 south from Alfred, go 2 miles up "Jericho Hill" from the business block, turn left on Kenyon Rd. Studio is 2/10 of a mile on the left.
