Work for sale

I apologize for the outdated state of these pages. I am hard at work in my studio making new vessels and will update these pages as soon as I can. Please bear with me in the meantime. At any time, please contact me to inquire about work I have available that is not shown here.

Dimensions given are approximate maximum diameters, unless otherwise noted. Photographs are not to scale. Shipping is extra for out-of-towners; for Tucsonans, local taxes apply. To purchase any item, simply e-mail me, noting which item or items you want, and we'll arrange delivery and payment. For Tucsonans who want to handle the work before they buy, I can set up a private or group showing. I accept Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit cards as payment (nonlocal customers, please e-mail me for my phone number to transmit the number), as well as cash or checks. Click on any of the photos below for a closer look.
