I used to make sandcastles, but decided I wanted to make something that would last longer than a day. So I took a ceramic class at Manatee Community college in 1990. When I got on the potter’s wheel, that was all she wrote. I’ve been throwing pots ever since. I have slowly transformed my wheel thrown vessels into unique works of art. I add textured pieces of clay and carve into the pot, sometimes adding things like driftwood, ammonite fossils , leather or nautilus shells.
On occasion, I still make sandcastles…..
