Each piece is turned on the lathe, some are finish carved with hand tools and some are sanded smooth. I work to express a reverence for nature and for craftsmanship in these functional pieces. This gallery includes pieces made from Birch, Hemlock and some of our invasive Choke Cherry trees.

I’ve focused on simple mugs and cups with dark red clays and creamy white glazes. These have a nice satin touch and attractive contrast. I’m working to find a balance of interesting, yet simple with this body of work.
