Motivated to make pots for his plants, he studied pottery with Byron Johnstad at Malaspina College 1979-80. • He began making functional pots, followed by raku around 1985, later also making ceramic sculpture.

Low fire copper lustre glaze, cone 06, fired in a gas kiln. • When still "red hot" from the kiln this piece had sawdust and other materials thrown onto it, and then covered to slow the cooling, then later placed in water. The texture on the bottom half of the pot is the result of the sawdust interacting with the glaze. • Made between 2000 and 2005. • In excellent condition, no breaks, cracks, or chips.
