Working on the pottery wheel is an art and technique that I enjoy. Usually, the pot itself is not enough for me, as I like to add a story to it. Inspirations of images I’ve added to a few pieces are related to Aesop’s Fables; and have added nature influences of leaves, branches, and twigs, as well as composing opportunities to involve special relationships between birds.
