A hand-built vase with a big belly and two tiny ears. My first time working with the coiling method. I loved watching the shape slowly grow, coil by coil, while keeping the surface raw and full of hand-built texture.
These pieces were created using the sagar firing technique. There's an element of controlled unpredictability when choosing your materials and arranging them, but heat, smoke, minerals and atmosphere ultimately determine how the surface develops. The vase was rapped in ferns and steel wool, leaving smoky imprints on the surface of the clay. Banana peels were placed inside the bowl, creating a range of colors and textures.

This raku-fired bowl got its unique colors and surface directly from the flames. It was finished with a copper glaze, creating a beautiful red effect that almost looks like a galaxy.
