My Process
My pieces vessels are build by hand using a slab/coil method over many days.The process is unhurried, with multiple stages that allow me to work on several pieces at once, moving between forms as they evolve.
My favourite part of the process is the carving. When a piece reaches the perfect leather-hard stage, it’s ready to carve — a point where time slows, and I can lose myself for hours.
Once carved, each piece dries for 2–3 weeks until it’s ready for the bisque firing. From there, I decide whether to keep the surface raw, celebrating the natural texture, or to apply slips and glazes mixed in the studio to bring out further depth.
The interiors are always glazed to ensure water-tightness. After glazing, the pieces dry overnight before being fired again at a high temperature, locking in both form and finish.
