Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The primary focus of my clay work is the functional pot, formed on the potter&#8217;s wheel. Functional pots include objects such as teapots, mugs and bowls. I am most drawn to making functional pots because I love the connection this work has to people&#8217;s lives. I have also begun to expand my exploration of design and surface through the production of tiles and mosaics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Generally, my work is designed for its tactile qualities as much as the visual qualities. The feel of the clay coming to life under my hands is a daily joy. The texture of stoneware clay, and its way of freezing a moment in time, has led me to use forms that are often altered after throwing them on the potter&#8217;s wheel. When my work is fired,variations in the surface enhance the interaction between the clay and glaze.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-hero alignfull has-text-color has-quaternary-color coblocks-hero-116181851728 mb-0 mt-0\"><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-hero__inner has-background has-background-overlay bg-cover has-background-image bg-no-repeat bg-center-center has-background-overlay-90 hero-center-center-align has-padding has-left-content\" style=\"background-color:#381c12;background-image:url(http:\/\/epinepottery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cas_3.jpg);min-height:700px\"><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-hero__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-hero__content\" style=\"max-width:560px\">\n<h2 class=\"has-quaternary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"classes\">Classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been teaching clay to all ages for over 40 years.
