Teaching for so long, I use a broad variety of tecnices as well as clays: earthenware red,black and yellow and stoneware. I fire in a gaskiln between 1050-1200 degrees. Mostly I produce functional and decorativ ceramics on the wheel or by hand as tea-sets, candleholders and mirrors, but in the last few years I created as well small sculptures and relif tiles.
