You wouldn't put your lips to a painting or eat off it. Using functional pottery is intimate.
My work is about comfort. I make invitations to brew and to drink, to hold and to eat. I make small mugs for old couples who like their coffee hot, and deep plates for latin women who add hot sauce to everything, left-handed teapots for young tea enthusiasts that can't find the right pot, and shallow bowls with small feet for cooks who mostly eat standing.
Comfort is about consideration and being specific. I make work that interacts, not just with what goes in it, but the life that it can be a part of.
