Ceramics
I did pottery in school but started ceramics more seriously in 2023. Since moving to Cambridge I have been going to Kiln, and mostly do wheel-thrown functional ware fired in stoneware. I like simple forms, natural glazes, and the quiet unpredictability of the kiln. All pieces are thrown on the wheel and reduction or oxidation fired to cone 6–10.
Shino Tea Bowl
Tea bowl in speckled stoneware with a shino-style glaze. Cream body with a dark iron band at the base. Irregular rim left as-thrown.
Amber Interior Bowl
Low, wide bowl with a cream exterior and amber interior. One side has a panel of crawling glaze texture from layering glazes.
Turquoise Cup
Cylindrical cup dipped in a copper turquoise glaze. Unglazed stoneware foot ring. The glaze breaks where it thins over the throwing rings.
Brushwork Vessel
Taller cup with a pinched rim. Iron oxide brushstrokes on the cream exterior, applied before glazing. Teal-glazed interior.
Blue Drip Cup
Cobalt blue glaze dripped from the rim over a pale stoneware body. The drip pattern is left to gravity and kiln atmosphere. One of my favourites.
Oribe Bowl
Bowl with a deep green Oribe-style glaze that fades to raw clay at the foot. Visible throwing lines. The glaze shifts slightly blue-green from reduction firing.
Two-Tone Cup
White upper half, textured cobalt-blue base. The lower portion was carved before firing, creating a relief texture that holds the glaze differently.
Ashtray
Ashtray with notched rests in the rim. Dark tenmoku glaze over raw stoneware. Made as a gift.
Bulbous Vase
Round-bellied vase with a narrow neck. Jade green glaze over a dark iron-oxide body. The two glazes meet diagonally across the surface.
Speckled Cup
Tall cup in white speckled stoneware with a dark blue-black band at the base. The clay is flecked with iron, visible through the glaze. Pronounced throwing rings.
Horizon Bowl
Deep tea bowl with a cream upper body and dark iron-brown lower half. The transition between glazes came from how the glaze flowed during firing. Raw clay texture visible near the rim.
Celadon Tea Bowl
Celadon-glazed tea bowl, wide and open. Even green glaze with slight pooling at the base and variation where it thins over the rim.
Cobalt Bowl
Deep cobalt blue bowl. Matte glaze with surface variation from the kiln atmosphere. Asymmetric rim left as-thrown.
Teal Cup & Bowl Set
Matching cup and ribbed bowl in speckled teal glaze over brown stoneware. The iron-rich clay shows through at the rims and feet.
Grey-Blue Cup Pair
Two cups in muted grey-blue glaze with iron speckle showing through. The taller one flares out, the shorter one curves in. Both have dark tenmoku interiors.
Teal Pair
Cup and bowl in layered teal-over-brown glaze with terracotta showing at the rims. The bowl has visible ribbing from throwing. The cup tapers slightly.
Cobalt Pair
Cup and bowl in cobalt blue, half-dipped so the white stoneware base is exposed at the foot. Clean line between glaze and clay.
