As I look at the work I made in this past cycle, I am seeing coalescence of everything I have learned so far in a way that feels like the beginning of my true voice in clay.

Having spent the past year primarily engaged with wood firing and local material, I am beginning to understand the vastness of possibility with materials I can find nearby, and how I can exploit them to create the most beautiful and truly representative pottery of my own style.

As I embark on my journey through graduate school at Florida State University, I start the cycle of learning material once again. I am just beginning to see what is possible through collection and testing in Tallahassee and the surrounding areas. If you would like to follow this process in real time, please take a look at and consider following my instagram, @constant.practice. Thank you for your interest and support, I could not do what I do without the encouragement, engagement, and purchase of work that the community has provided me with.
