Clay Collective Pottery TourRight now I am currently preparing for the upcoming Clay Collective Spring Pottery Tour on April 30th & May 1.
I will be located in Cambridge, WI at Tour Stop #5 on the map - on the lawn of Glen Cutcher's home. There are two new Tour Stops this year, #1 is Caring Kitzman's studio in Deerfield and #7 is Peter Jackson's Wakefield Handmade. This is a super fun event if you love pottery - Hope to see you there! 
Bleeding Hearts Sgraffito demoMy newest design is the Bleeding Hearts pattern. One of my favorite flowers as we have many growing all around our back yard. Spring is my favorite time of year as the shoots and leaves of this amazing plant are sprouting forth from the ground.
The Bleeding Heart pattern is definitely my most complicated to date. It consists of a different approach to applying my colored slip. A more painterly technique, I brush on layers of the different colors in specific areas on the piece before I do the carving. Once carved, I then paint on additional highlights of color to define the flower's details and ad a little more depth. Video Below: Virtual Studio TourIf you have not visited me at my home studio, and are curious about how and where I work, I created this virtual tour of my studio that includes some demonstrations of how I make my work. Thanks for watching! Approximately 17 minutes long.

New Aspen Series at MOWA Gift ShopIn the Fall of 2019, I created a custom Aspen design series to celebrate the newly finished landscaping on the grounds of the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, WI.
The three images represent the Bark of the Aspen tree, Aspen leaves in the Summer and Aspen leaves in the fall. These pieces are only being sold directly in the MOWA gift shop while supplies last. This is a second in a series of custom designs created for MOWA in 2019.
