Thirty-six years ago I took my first pottery class at Linn Benton Community College. Five years later I taught beginning pottery at the Oregon State University Craft Center. I soon began assisting the staff by loading and unloading the electric and gas kilns. After three years I became the kiln master and continued teaching.

While taking time off to raise a family, I experimented with porcelain, Raku, low fire earthenware and high fire stoneware. I progressed into mastering glazes and have created several glazes of my own.

I retired from OSU and now enjoy throwing, glazing and firing a wide variety of clay bodies in my own studio. I hope you enjoy the stoneware and porcelain as much as I enjoy creating it.
