"I am a maker. From my earliest memories to the present, I have practiced the art of making things: two dimensional, three dimensional, functional pieces, and sculptural objects. Of late, I have dialed into clay as my main medium. The genius of clay is that I get to make a base form (touching & shaping) then create richly layered surfaces employing brush work, drawing, scratching, carving, slips, terra sigillata, and glazes. My attention to surface quality allows me to imbue my work with a sense of time and emotion. Pottery is the most intimate of all art. You cradle it in your hands, and touch it with your lips. My hope is to interact with my user/viewer on a visceral level." -- June Ambro
