How long have you been working in this space?
Seven years.
Describe an average day in your studio.
I work at District Clay Center, where I also teach. Every day, I get to the studio between 1pm and 2pm to catch up on emails before diving into my own work. Ceramics go through several stages before they’re finished: throwing/building, surface decoration, glazing, decal transfers, and gilding. Each stage can take days or weeks, so in one workday, I’ll often find myself just throwing or just applying luster. I rotate between music and audiobooks in the background.
