After years of making pots I found myself making more jars than anything else

Why? Well, for a start, that's what I enjoy making.  I believe that you should make what pleases you and not what you or others feel that you should. That's why I rarely accept commissions. 

I've discovered that if I enjoy making a particular pot that enjoyment is somehow reflected in the finished article. 

Concentrating on one form might appear to be limiting but it isn't.  Jars come in a variety of shapes and sizes with many different surface textures and treatments. I think that concentrating on, say, one form helps creativity. 
      
Most of my jars have a textured surface.  There is always something new to see on the surface of a textured pot and, of course, textured pots are more tactile. However, occasionally I enjoy making smooth glazed jars, it just depends on what occurs to me when I sit down at the wheel.

Most of my jars are thrown on the wheel with some then being altered.  Many of them are textured with slips and oxides/glazes being applied over a number of firings. 

The random processes used in making most of my jars means that each one is unique. In fact I would find it difficult to make two identical jars! However, they share a number of common elements that hopefully binds them together as a body of work.
