Why I do clay...


Because it involves fundamental elements: Earth, water, fire.

Because it requires physical effort: sweat, strain, prevention of or recovery from minor burns.

Because you just never know if it will work, until after it does, or doesn't.

Because very few things are as cool (hot!) as a 14 foot tall, 2000 degree, 3 ton piece of claywork.

(We finished firing the sculpture last night. It went perfectly. Stay tuned for details...)
