Pippin

Imagine a female Falstaff, larger than life, colorful, and generous of sprit.
Imagine fine food on a grand scale, a house full of flowers and paintings and mementoes, friends and admirers - everyone on top of each other, everyone with heaps to say.
In the midst of it all Falstaff tips at the world, mischievously lawless, breaks every rule. The work is magnificent - reflective of a love of nature and a feeling for beauty, noisy energetic - always breaking boundaries. Not content with slow evolutions - new clay, new glazes, new shapes, and new techniques all at once - this is the essence of the soul.
