"As a potter, I want my pottery to be hands-on. To 'bring new meaning to the phrase local pottery,' my creek clay pieces are dug out of creek beds in Delaware County, PA. The clay
I dig is a unique voice of iron, feldspar, silica, calcium, fine metals and organic matter. it comes naturally from the processes of the Earth."
