Since 1971, I have worked with industrial processes because I am able to make things that I cannot make any other way. For example, I slip cast my forms, a process that utilizes plaster molds and enables thinly made porcelain. Recently, I transfer images to the cups with decals which enable me to place a drawing on a cup that is detailed and filled with time.
I make all the models, all the molds, and dream up all the slip and glaze formulas. I draw all the drawings, print all the decals, produce, glaze, and fire the ware. It is safe to say that the cups are handmade.
