Welcome to Flaming Earth Pottery

My Background

I became interested in pottery through my eighth-grade art teacher.  My father, sharing my curiosity, ordered a kit and built a kick wheel for him and me. I have been working in clay ever since, and that kick wheel remains a key piece of equipment in my studio to this day.

While in graduate school, I took classes and learned from accomplished potters teaching at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center in Decatur, Georgia. After moving to Little Rock, I continued to develop my skills through classes and workshops at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I benefit from being part of an active community of potters who come together annually to support the firing of an authentic wood-fired anagama kiln in Oark, Arkansas.
