My traditional ceramic works are made out of porcelain and fired with zinc silicate crystalline glazes. Through chemistry and a very specific firing schedule I am able to grow two dimensional crystals on the surface of the pots. The forms are usually swelled out vessels with narrow openings, or large flat platter forms giving the glaze on the pots a smooth and beautiful field on which to grow the crystals. My interest is to create forms that reflect the preciousness and beauty of a gemstone.
