Artist Statement
A few years back, the majority of my time was spent on throwing cups, bowls, and functional wares in front of the pottery wheel. One day, my beloved Shimpo wheel was stolen, which then led me to building pieces by hand and explore hand building techniques. During the pandemic, I want to create pieces that lift people’s spirits. I hope my turtles and chickens will bring joy to your home. These pieces are made with porcelain; each piece individually decorated and fired in a soda kiln. Soda firing is a vapor-glazing process where sodium bicarbonate is applied into the kiln at temperatures above 2300°F (1260°C).
