“His cilinders and bowls are eggshell thin inviting the passage of light through their delicate structure. Their hard crispness belies their acquired fragility and invites the observer to question, almost disbelieve, the qualities of the material from which they are made: soft smooth pure porcelain carefully hand crafted on the potters wheel”.

Eddie Curtis in New Ceramics
