I make functional pottery on a potters wheel or slab roller. I am currently working with a Cone 6 porcelain clay body from Archie Bray in Helena. My designs are carved into colored slips and fired with a high glossy glaze in an electric kiln.

Slip carving
The Design Process
After a piece is thrown on a potters wheel, I paint a thick layer of colored slip over the entire white clay body. My designs and motifs are carved thru this slip. A glossy glaze is applied over the slip design and fired to 2200 degrees faranheit.
