I create thrown and slab-built stoneware that is grounded on my formal training in Architectural Engineering. Elements of buildings and the materials used to create them continue to fascinate me. My interest in this is continually renewed as I explore the ways in which clay can imitate some of these rich, tactile surfaces. Applying the basic principles of engineering to a medium as malleable as clay is a constant challenge and one that has kept my interest for over 12 years.

My most recent work has used drawings and photographs to create intricate images. Several of my pieces draw influence from recent trips to Chicago, Japan, and the Czech Republic. The surface of each piece is embellished with architectural details, images and found hardware, duplicated from plaster press molds. The clay is glazed with commercial glazes and washes to bring out the surface texture.

    I am very happy with the product. Meghan was very responsive to what I had wanted. She verified everything and kept me apprised throughout the project. I would recommend this vendor without hesitation.

    Meghan is AWESOME! She truly makes an effort to get you the product you want and the quality is superb! She made 2 custom mugs for me a while ago and I loved the result. This new project was just for my sister and after seeing the finished product I ordered one for myself! My fist contact with her was when she was in the United States and now even though she has moved out of the country I still sought her out! Great work Meghan!
