I am a full-time potter. I started working with clay in 1972. I use porcelain clay that I purchase and I make my own stoneware clay at my studio. I do both functional and art pottery. The ware is fired in one of two up-draft gas kilns, an Olsen 36 and a Halversen 48. The pieces are fired to cone 10-11 (about 2380 degrees Fahrenheit) in a reduction atmosphere. This high temperature gas firing brings out the rich copper reds and saturated blues in the porcelain glazes.
