Throwing a double walled vase is hard. Hand-cramping hard. But I love the final product so much, and there is a grace to the way the lines fit together that I think comes from the fact that it is all made from one lump of clay, thrown on the wheel in a single session.

You know that 1929 Rene Magritte painting of a pipe, called This is Not a Pipe? I think of these little clay huts in the same way. Ashtray? Incense burner? Tiny house for your kid’s Lego people? You decide.

Little painted planter, inspired by the concrete MCM screens that pepper Los Angeles. No hole, so perfect for succulents, but not plants that need more drainage.

This one was hard to photograph against the white background, but I love how the colors turned out. The column of azure-green within the milky-white outer wall makes me think of flying through streaks of clouds above a deep ocean of blue.

This small cup became a wooden-wicked candle, though I like to imagine that once the candle has burned down, it will become home to a tiny succulent, like the one in the photo. I love pots with double lives.

Los Angeles is rimmed by mountains, which on a clear day provide a welcome distraction when stuck in traffic. The design on these cups was inspired by that vista of barren but beautiful outerlands.

I love making bowls. In fact, I have to stop myself from making more of them than I need or can sell! These are perfect, everyday bowls for pasta, salad, soup, or a lumberjack-sized serving of lucky charms.

Sometimes the kismet of glaze and firing produces wonderful results. The lighting strike on this candle/vase is my favorite part, though the carving took MUCH more time.

If there were lakes in Los Angeles, perhaps the rim of mountains around the city would look something like the design on this planter, reflected back up into the sky.

These cups all became hand-poured soy wax candles with wooden wicks, sold at a Culver City marketplace in 2019. I love the double life of candles—once the candle has burned down, you have a cup or a planter or a whatnot holder.

The carving on this double-walled vase was inspired by the intricate cement block screens used outside of midcentury modern homes. It was fired twice at cone 10 in a reduction kiln to achieve the desired patina.

The strict geometry of this planter, paired with the loose organic structure of a succulent (or in this case a fake IKEA plant toupee) make my eyeballs happy.
