I love functional pots.  I love the idea of the things I’ve made being used, and used well and often.  As a result, most of my work is mid-range stoneware, fired with food-safe glazes.  The exception would be my African Violet Pots, which are a combination of mid-range stoneware and low-fired whiteware.  And sometimes, I find that some feelings just don’t fit the “functional pots”, and I find myself working things out in sculptures.  Clay is amazing, the width and breadth  of what it can do and what it can be!
