Each new body of work begins with a moodboard, a collection of images, colours, and textures that capture a certain atmosphere. Based on that, I develop a colour palette and search for a clay body that supports the mood I want to express. The texture, tone, and how the clay reacts to glaze all play a part.

Once the base feels right, I start testing glazes. I look for combinations that create depth, variation, and a sense of movement. This is a slow process of adjusting  layering techniques, and firing temperatures until the right balance appears.

I make larger vessels with simple shapes to give the surface room to breathe. After the bisque firing, I apply the glaze by hand with a brush. This allows me to work in layers and vary the thickness, direction, and rhythm. Each layer adds something, a shift in colour, a soft edge, a sense of depth.

It’s a slow and attentive process, one that invites me to look closely at every step.
