Welcome to my world of pottery. Here you will find examples of my most recent hand-crafted work -- each piece unique in its design and color. I have attempted to  reflect my creativity in the various techniques developed over the years. 

Albert at the wheelMy fascination for clay began back in 1975, while living in South Africa. The fact that the clay can be manipulated by throwing on the potter’s wheel, pinched, cut, coiled, slabbed, textured and joined, was especially appealing to me.  It was my good fortune to be under the instruction of  well-known South African potter, Digby Hoets. 

After immigrating to the United States in 1981, I continued with pottery as a hobby, using my garage as a studio. In March 2005 my hobby became my  fulltime profession. Whether creating by hand or using the potter's wheel in my new, FULLY EQUIPPED, air-conditioned studio, my unique designs reflect not only my South African heritage, but encompass contemporary, universal appeal, being both functional and decorative.

Through 30 years of growth my work has evolved into a remarkable combination of vivid, textured designs, overlaid with unusual techniques of glaze application.  Pottery is a never-ending challenge to me, and I am constantly attempting new ideas, driven by the passion I have for this craft.
