Each piece begins with the raw material — clay sourced and prepared by hand, wedged to remove air and achieve a uniform consistency. The building process varies from piece to piece, combining hand-building techniques such as coil and slab construction with careful attention to structural integrity and expressive form.

Surface treatment is an integral part of the practice. Textures are carved, stamped, and layered before the first firing. Glazes are mixed in-studio, often formulated to produce the rich, dark palettes and subtle metallic lustres that define the work. Firing cycles are precisely controlled — from slow bisque firings to high-temperature reduction atmospheres — to achieve the desired surface qualities and structural permanence.

The studio practice is one of iterative exploration. Each firing brings new discoveries, and the dialogue between intention and chance is what drives the work forward. Every piece carries the memory of its making — the marks of hands, the breath of the kiln, and the quiet patience of the process.
