The pottery at short mountain
I create in a space that I have built from scratch in the Tennessee countryside
Here is a look at my home studio where all my work is currently created.

The power plant
I built my first kiln to fire work produced in my back yard. A learning experience indeed. It is a downdraft reduction kiln, fired 100% manually. A good way to learn the mechanics of firing a kiln.
Firing styles
I currently fire styles and techniques primarily in the low fire temperature range such as RAKU, Saggar firing, and Pit firing. I am expanding into cone six reduction glaze firings as well.


Driven by the wheel
My work is a compilation of parts that are primarily created on a potters wheel. It is the backbone of my studio and art.

Rooted in pottery
Reconfiguring techniques derived from traditional pottery styles has lead me to a method of sculpture that results in something truly unique. My deepest influences emerge and materialize in clay
