CuP-3Bo starts on the wheel to be trimmed into an unfooted bowl that would be cut into three pieces. Variations result from details such as depth and curve of original bowl, amount of material cut, as well as glazing and glazing technique.

Mass produced ceramics (slip casting) introduced industrial design to me. The process of production in molds can have qualities of its own. It is not as sensual as working on the wheel, yet detaching a fresh shell from its creation bed gives a feeling of new life if not birth.

Wheel throwing can be a demanding way of having fun. It requires a degree of skill that can be frustrating at times. Never the less, it is a good starting point for developing forms in new directions through working with the material.

My efforts are put into combining the elegance of pottery and streamlining of design.
