I have come back to Northfield to study more in depth pottery techniques in the studio of Barbara Zaveruha. One of my interests is in exploring face vessels and emotion, or as I’ve explained, “how I really feel.” I am wishing to explore this form with simple glaze techniques, as well as incorporating found teeth in the finished product. My work is balanced between purpose and expression. I seek to make pieces that bring joy and usefulness. My face vases are born of a desire to create grotesque yet beloved vessels.
