A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "My original designs I hand draw, sketch onto clay & then hand carve into clay. Poetry is hand pressed in the wet clay letter by letter, word by word. All work combines my artwork & original poetry. New this year I've created my full poems on clay. Artworks finished with found wood or solid oak which I hand make into craftsman style frames using a mortise & tenon technique, no nails or screws used in the making. All artwork is my own originals each handmade. Simple, elegant & meaningful."
