Abstract

Service nurtures wellness. Through glaze palate, form, and function, Wellness illustrates this truth. Complete wellness requires self-care and engagement with community. By serving self, one nurtures decompression and rejuvenation. By serving others, one feels connected to a greater purpose. Wellness explores this complex reality through one line of functional ware fired in an electric kiln to Cone 6 with controlled cooling cycles.
