Inspired by nature...

Each of my carved pieces takes from 4 to 6 weeks to complete. They are based on my floral sketches and are carved freehand.

The process involves throwing and then applying a clay slip to the pot. Then, when the vessel is leather hard, I carve through the slip to create the design.
