In the 1970's and 1980's my work consisted of unusual objects in clay, and for 20 years produced  Aquariums, and Fountains.  These water-sculptures were sold via hundreds of galleries, as far away as Tokyo.

         In 1991 Christine, my wife who is a textile weaver, and I opened a showroom at our studio.  The web site and our showroom are the primary outlets for my pottery and Christine's weaving.

            The focus of my work is inspired by ancient Jomon pottery.  An important element is the quality of a pot's surface, which for me, is best achieved in the process of wood firing and salt glazing.

            In the early 1990's I built a variety of kilns at the studio.  This provided me with the opportunity to offer summer workshops at our pottery.  From 1993 until 2006,  potters from around the world came to share a common interest in clay. 

While we are not currently giving workshops at our Vermont Studio, invitations to give International workshops has given us a global awareness that has become an important aspect in our lives.

          It has been our  privilege to host Potters , weavers and farmers from all over the world,  reflecting our interests in pottery, agriculture and textiles. Over the years we have raised dairy goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, horses, and most recently sheep.

            Christine and I share a passion for travel and fly fishing.  We have fished some of the most beautiful rivers on earth, from Alaska to New Zealand, as well as the Rocky Mountains.
