"My hope is to make pots that are beautiful and also reflect my love of nature and patterns. I love collecting small natural treasures—especially rocks and bones—and I use these tools to texture the surfaces of my pots. I like the way these repetitive markings effect the glazed surface, and how the ash, flame and salt of the woodkiln create layers of organic tones and colorings which break across and enhance the predictable patterns beneath." - Abigail Milner
