Inspiration comes from looking at other artits's work and nature. Glazing is kept to a minimum in order to appreciate the natural feel and texture of the clay which at times is highly burnished and smoke fired; at other times with minimal glazing and oxides. My passion is the work of Mata Ortiz handbuiding and aztec designs and this is what I am working towards.
I prefer rounded, natural shapesof nature, with landscape reflexions which can be achieved with smoke, horsehair and saggar firings. This sits well when using teracotta or unglazed stoneware.
