Announcement    Welcome to the result of years of practice and many failures. I am finally able to say that I would actually enjoy drinking out of these mugs, eating cereal out of the bowls and displaying the vases.
It feels good to be intimately connected to the work of my own hands. It seems that something is lost when we buy things that are a result of product alienation. We have been completely alienated from our identity as creators and growers who are made in the image of the ultimate creator. We have exchanged that identity for the identity of button presser, lever puller and consumer. Through this work I hope to begin closing the gap between the person and the artifact. Every piece has been touched, molded and designed by my wife and me as well as being influenced by the suggestions of friends and family.
I once read a scientific study in which it was found that holding a warm beverage increases generosity. Not only are folks more willing to donate time and money, but they are also more generous with their judgement of a person's character. That is inspiring to me and I want to be a part of it. This is, and we are, a work in progress.
Thank you for taking a look.
