Black porcelaneous clay with white porcelain inclusions
Artistic objects made from clay and fired to create pottery, vases, or decorative objects.
A series that explores clay vessels that seem to be pulled from the earth with rough-hewn beauty rather than industrial perfection.
A collection where the artist personally selects and holds their favorite creations, showcasing a deeply personal reflection of their journey, evolution, and the themes that resonate most with them.
This vessel has been glazed and fired to allow it to be used in domestic and commercial settings. It's waterproof and dishwasher safe.
Neriage is a sophisticated ceramic art technique where multiple coloured clays are layered, kneaded, and shaped to create intricate, marbled patterns. This method, rooted in Japanese tradition, results in unique and mesmerizing designs that highlight the artist's skill and creativity.
A pottery technique where clay is shaped into forms on a rotating potter's wheel, allowing for symmetrical and rounded shapes, often used for creating bowls, vases, and other vessels.
This unique ceramic piece features a thrown vessel that has been intentionally altered, creating an intriguing interplay between form and function. The artist's skillful manipulation of the clay while on the wheel, followed by deliberate modifications, results in a striking and unconventional work that challenges traditional notions of ceramic vessels.
