My first experience with clay was through throwing on the wheel. I was fascinated by the magical ease with which a lump of clay could be formed into a cup, bowl, vase – or just about anything else.

So my first ceramic sculptural efforts were made with thrown elements, altered and/or joined together. Eventually I tried other techniques – hand-building, casting, etc.

Clay is a wonderful sculptural material. It can assume the look and feel of many other materials, or it can be it’s own earthy self. I experimented and played, made abstract, figurative and everything in between.

This module is a compendium of the results of that investigation of clay as a sculptural medium.
