The technique of Tin glaze and Reduction fired lustreware lends its self to decoration. Because of the Earthenware firing temperature The designs painted on are stable and the natural oxides show up so brightly on the white glaze .
The tin glazed pot is my canvas , so my designs are are always of something that has some meaning either from visual experiences of the past or present , but often rooted in the tin glaze designs I have seen on pots from all over the world going back to the beginning in 9th century Persia .
Following the tradition of tin glaze pottery I have done many commemorative commissions
So many of my designs are requests from visitors .
