every day in france i walked on streets that had these markings and i would always feel drawn to them . . .
it was no surprise that they eventually showed up on my work !

evolution of the leaf.
i made this teapot in france last year. it was inspired by the beautiful foliage in the south of france (one of my favorite places on earth). a gentleman, who lives in germany, saw this teapot, and asked if i would make and sell him just the leaves . . .
here are some of the 300 porcelain leaves i made for his equisite jewelry store in munich, germany. it was actually very meditative making each leaf by hand. i will definitely be adding these to my clay repertoire. i just love how some things evolve.

friday field trip (from the sketchbook).
2010
berkeley, california
yixing teapots are so beautiful in their simplicity and functionality. my sister, who lived in china for a number of years, has a huge collection of them. did you know that traditionally, some Chinese would pour the tea from the spout directly into their mouths ? i love that visual.
