Wedging & Centring
It all starts with a block of stoneware clay, wedged by hand to remove air bubbles. The clay is then centred on the wheel — the foundation of every piece.
Throwing
With the clay centred, the form is opened and pulled upward on the spinning wheel. Each piece is shaped entirely by feel — the pressure of fingers and palms, the speed of the wheel.
Trimming & Handles
Once leather-hard, each piece returns to the wheel to have its foot ring trimmed, walls refined, and weight perfected. Handles are pulled by hand from solid clay.
Bisque Firing
After drying completely, pieces are loaded into the kiln for the first firing at around 1,000°C, transforming fragile dry clay into porous bisqueware.
Glazing
Each piece is dipped, poured, or brushed with glazes mixed in the studio from raw materials. The interaction between glaze and clay creates unique, unrepeatable effects.
Glaze Firing
The final firing reaches over 1,250°C, transforming clay and glaze into a vitrified, food-safe, durable piece. Opening the kiln is still the most exciting moment.
""From a lump of earth to the thing you reach for first each morning — that transformation never stops feeling like magic.""
