Wheel-thrown in speckled stoneware, pulled handle and hand-painted with porcelain slip and underglaze decoration, glaze-fired to 1250°C.

As with all handmade work, each piece is entirely its own: small variations and gentle imperfections are part of the process, not in spite of it. Where the glaze sits thicker, you may notice some natural crazing over time.

My influences are wide and ranging— essentially a cumulative love of the history of ceramics: 12th–17th century Persian painted pottery, Iznik Ottoman ceramics, Imari ware, Delft ware, the forms and traditions of British studio and medieval pottery. A magpie's hoard. What connects them, I think, is a love of the handmade mark: the evidence that someone, somewhere, made something alive with their hands.
