I began working with clay in 2019, and it’s been love ever since. Check out more of my finished and in-progress ceramic work below. Every piece shown is custom and one of a kind, and represent my exploration of original invention and style, as well as traditional influences within pottery culture.
I made this video in 2019 to highlight my very first explorations into clay. I was so excited and in awe at the idea that it was possible to dream something up and bring it into reality, from the very mud itself. I still feel that way about it.
