Reflections from the wheel

A collection of essays, studio notes, and quiet observations on the slow, deliberate art of hand-thrown ceramics.

Hands digging dark, wet clay from a mossy riverbank, water droplets catching soft morning light, earthy brown and grey tones.

From earth to kiln

01 / Materials

Harvesting wild river clay

An exploration of local mineral deposits, digging raw clay from the riverbeds of the Pacific Northwest, and refining it for the studio kiln.

02 / Philosophy
