My pots and montages, when successful, end up looking unstrained and reflect an active relationship
between nature and me.
What I look for in my work is both spontaneity in the creative process and spontaneity in the result.
This approach is, of course, coupled with the
need for practical functionality.
It seems to me that the fact that such things can be created is a blessing in itself.

Please be aware that the availability of pottery depends on my standing inventory and my firing schedule.
Generally, I have a large number of pots on hand in my home sales gallery. These are ready for immediate delivery.
In the event of a custom order, or a request for a form that is out of stock, it may take up to 90 days to get your item to you.
I normally fire about four times a year, but when I do, I fire a large number of pieces at one time.
Wood firing is extemely labor intensive. Therefore I wait to fire until I fill my order quota.
Photos, on the other hand, providing the edition is not sold out, can be shipped to you within 5-7 business days.
