Large Ceramic Mixing Bowl-Bari Moss Ceramics

Working with clay is a process that invites endless possibilities. But even more thrilling to me than the beautiful, tactile act itself is the humbling knowledge that I am part of an age-old tradition of making usable wares from our very earth, aided only by the sacred elements of water and fire. It is an art form that connects us to our planet in the most intimate of ways.

When I make my work, my mind always turns to you, the end user, and how each piece will feel when you hold it, look at it, drink from it, and put food in it. That, I’ve discovered, is the deepest satisfaction of all—knowing that the pieces I make will become a personal (and perhaps even cherished) part of the daily lives of people everywhere, most of whom I will never even know.
