I wanted them to feel like small sculptural objects.
Raised, yet still calm and grounded in their form.
Pieces that don’t ask for attention, but hold it.

The outer texture holds the movement of the hand.
Inside, everything becomes softer and quieter.
I like that balance between raw and calm.

From above, the form changes completely.It becomes more space than object.I’m always drawn to that quiet inner world.

It becomes more space than object.

This piece was shaped more by feeling than by plan.
I let the material lead the process.

These pieces always carry the most honesty.

The contrast between the dark surface and the gold edge adds depth.
I like when a detail stays subtle, but present.

Small things often leave the strongest impression.

I often come back to this simple design. Leaving the center completely calm feels like a small rest for the eyes, while the raw edge reminds me of the clay I started with.

Do you prefer a completely smooth plate, or one with a raw edge?

Carving these small lines by hand takes time, but it’s a rhythm I really enjoy. I wanted the textured rim to gently hold the quiet, sandy space in the middle.

Do you usually look closer at the edges or the center of a piece?

I love opening the kiln and finding a surface like this. I couldn't control this texture even if I tried, the glaze breaks and forms these natural, dry patterns all on its own during firing.

Are you drawn to predictable surfaces or more organic textures like this one?

Making these concentric lines on the wheel always feels deeply meditative to me. I wanted to capture that exact feeling of rotation and leave the trace of my fingers visible.

Do you find these circular rhythms calming, or do you prefer flat surfaces?

Dark glazes can sometimes feel a bit heavy, so I carved the edge to give this piece some lightness and contrast. To me, it feels perfectly grounded this way.

What draws you more, the deep, dark center or the textured rim?

This green glaze surprised me with how beautifully it pooled into the carved rings. I left the very edge as rough and raw as possible to ground that rich, fluid color.

Do you prefer earthy, neutral tones, or deeper colors like this one?
