We specialize in the elusive "Copper Red" glaze, a high fired premium glaze with incredible depth. Reds are typically very difficult to achieve and only a small percentage of potters attempt to work with this beautiful but finicky glaze, especially for functional pottery.

Cotton Mill Studios

I work in a sharply intuitive way. Forms erupt through the process of building up overlapping color fields. I choose the strongest or most provocative theme that emerges to develop in succeeding layers, with glimpses of others still visible as historical remnants. This leads to a rich suggestiveness, and invites the viewer to bring her own history, sensibility, and momentary perspective to the experience.
