I am represented by the following:
For years I’ve used woodturning to craft my objects. I love the removal of wood to reveal a form underneath. Woodturning taught me to use my sense of touch to create a curve.
Then one day I picked up a crochet hook and repeated a stitch. The rhythm felt right and I went on for days. I was left with a product I hadn't planned to create.
Next, a teacher handed me a lump of clay and showed me how to pinch and coil. I went on and on for days. For months. I may never stop.
The feeling of clay between my fingers soothes me. My pieces are made with a hand building technique called coil building. I work with a gritty sculpture clay that feels a bit like plunging my hands into wet beach sand.
A commission for a large scale installation along with pieces for the home have brought crochet back into my scope of work. I now work with up cycled textile remnants for yarn.

Do you take custom orders?Yes. Please send me an email to start a discussion.
-
Where are you located?I am based in Richmond, Virginia. If you’re local I’m happy to arrange a pickup with you.
-
How are items packaged and shipped?I use a professional art packing service to ensure your piece arrives safely. This is why I ask for your shipping zip code in your request to purchase.
-
How will I hang my crochet piece?When you purchase a crochet rope you will receive the necessary hardware and a paper template. All you need to do is tape the template to the wall and screw in the screws with a regular screwdriver. Then rip the template away and you're done!
-
Can my vase hold water?Yes, your vase is water tight. However, these stoneware vases do weep just as a plant pot might. I would advise not leaving water in overnight because condensation may form on the bottom. Alternatively, you could add a dish under the vase to protect your surface.
-
How are your pieces made?Each work is made entirely by hand using a clay construction method called coil building. No two are exactly alike.
-
Do you work with stockists and wholesalers?Yes, I do. Please send me an email.
-
How do you name your pieces?One of my daughters thought they should have people names, and I agree.

I'd like to request a specific color. Where can I find my choices?Here you can download my glaze (for vases and tables) and paint (for sculptures) color options. If you'd like a custom paint color I can do that too.
