Ceramics
After pushing pixels for a few years, I missed getting hands on with raw materials so I set up a small ceramic studio in a utility closet and started throwing. I'm still working on my fundamentals, but excited to share some progress.

Pittsburgh community projects
Urban Tree Forge
I interned at this woodshop in Pittsburgh one Summer. I helped John Metzler recover old trees that were knocked down in storms and turn them into beautiful slabs and furniture.

The Waffle Shop
I worked at this Art installation / waffle shop / reality show for a Summer in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh. In between cooking and serving delicious waffles until 2am, we fostered story telling and archived some neighborhood history.
