Statement
I am a New Mexico/Colorado potter, spending summers in my studio and cabin in Crestone, Colorado and winters in my Las Cruces studio and home. I prefer to throw, and often alter whatever I’ve thrown. I enjoy sculpting, mostly a variety of animals, but also human busts. I do some hand-building, and my wall pockets are quite popular. I enjoy experimenting with different clays, glazes, slips, and other finishes. (Friends remark how much variety they see in my work.) I am fortunate to have access to electric kilns, as well as gas and wood-fired ones. I came up with the name MPerfectPots for my clay hobby for a couple of reasons. The “M” stands for Moore, and also, tongue-in-cheek, it is a “statement” that my pots are imperfect! I keep striving for the perfect pot, but am not there yet! I have been a member of the Potters’ Guild of Las Cruces for about 8 years, and currently am the co-chair of the annual Holiday Sale event. |
