I am interested in making things by hand and combinaitons of modern/old techniques.   

Earlier, I cast existing metal parts to build cups, teapots and salt/pepper shakers, but currently, I have begun making things with the skills that I learned in Japan. 

All work was made in plaster first, and then cast for slip casting.
