Azure Veil Vase
I loved making this vase. The process was truly meditative for me—each step felt intentional and calming. I built Azure Veil from round coils rather than shaping it on a wheel. Building with coils fosters a direct, tactile connection to the clay because each coil is shaped, placed, and blended by hand.
Obsidian Tide
The Obsidian Tide vase is a striking fusion of depth and movement, crafted with precision and artistry. Its black foundation serves as a dramatic canvas for layered Pistachio Shino and Blue Shino glazes, flowing like currents over its form. Kiln firing reveals subtle variations, creating a rich interplay of texture and tone. A perfect blend of controlled technique and organic spontaneity, this handcrafted ceramic piece embodies contrast, elegance, and timeless craftsmanship.
Maple Leaf Bowl
I find immense satisfaction in working with form, texture—including appliqué—and color. Pottery opens the door to all of this for me. I recently completed a series exploring these aspects. This Maple Leaf Bowl is one example from that series – it is approximately 7 ¼ inches wide by 4 ¼ inches tall.
