I throw functional high-fired porcelain ware and individually decorate each pot’s surface using sgraffito with colored slips; often black. The designs are drawn free hand and each one is unique. Usually, I cover the surface completely with slip, draw the design and then, using small loop tools, carve away what is not needed for the image. My work is meant to be used, lived with on a frequent basis and, I hope, to enhance people’s daily life through aesthetically pleasing objects.
