Wood fired and Raku Ceramics

I experiment with shapes/forms, glazes and firing techniques constantly. I like wood firing and raku best because I feel more of a connection to this, the last phase of the creation of the vessel. I am altering the work to the last moment. I concentrate on orb shapes and larger forms as they are more of a challenge to throw and alter.

My work can also be seen at Studios on the Square on Campbell Avenue in downtown Roanoke, Virginia.
