On-Line Works from the BlueRose Studios

I love all forms of ceramics and pottery, and have worked in this media for almost thirty years. I sculpt, build forms by hand, and create pottery on the wheel. My favorite forms of pottery are those that have unexpected results. Pitfire and Raku pottery are two of the methods I love to pursue. Both involve a more primitive and direct approach to surface decoration. By combining natural elements like seaweed, woodchips, and salts, the resulting finishes can be very striking in appearance. Please have a look around, and thanks for visiting.

Why Do I Like Working with Clay?

• · Unlike a painting, I can rotate the piece and look at it from every angle.
• · I can create shapes from lifeless lumps of mud.
• · I can use a variety of natural materials for decorating the surface.
• · I have the ability to return the material back to its original state with fire, heat and time.
