| My
time in the classroom was well spent, earning two consecutive "Best of Show" Honors in ceramic competition, and winning the Senior Fine Art Award.
I spent most of my spare time when not in class in the ceramics lab throwing as much as
I could, sometimes after school hours had ended. As I like
to say, I must have "Mud in the Blood".
I've shown my work in many local
galleries, studio sales, and art tours.
Recently I've been concentrating on the wood firing process, and
the saggar firing process. I have joined a group of potter
friends in constructing two wood burning kilns, a soda kiln, and
a salt kiln in the Spring Valley hills outside San Jose CA. Working with
my friends to build and fire these kilns from the ground up has been one of the most rewarding ceramic experiences of
my life. In the last 5 years, I've made my love of clay my business. Purchasing the local clay and glaze manufacturing businesses with partners. That has been very rewarding..
