title: Fat Spout. Pour Me Out.
20cm high x 27cm wide x 14cm deep

I know I've been doing lots of functional ceramics lately. I think I'm obsessed with having beautiful, handmade things around me all the time.
Fat Spout. Pour Me Out has a crackle glaze with blue tributaries at the rims. There's a big dribble of glaze under the spout like a pearl, suspended.




title: Ribbed bowl
17.5cm wide x 9.5cm high

A beautiful ribbed bowl that allows the glaze to pool at the foot. I like this effect so much, so I've started cutting the foot with a small lip to catch the glaze. Inside is a slightly citrus peel texture and a beautiful blend of raw colors.



 Title: Galaxy Landscape
thrown porcelain
15cm wide x 8cm high

This beautiful, small bowl has an amazing, surreal landscape created as the glazes dripped and overlay eachother down the outside of the bowl. then pooled at the foot. Inside is a blue pool with a comet reflected at its edge.
title: Comfort jugs
Thrown porcelain
Mat duck-egg blue lower glaze
Unglazed, oxidized stripe
Clear crackle upper glaze
Height = 14.5 and 9 cm

I like the silken feel of the thick, mat glaze.  These colours are not my usual choice but I like the cosy, homely mood they evoke. The unglazed, raw stripe has become a soft orange colour which creates a bright and happy tone. They look  they're waiting for a bunch of daisys to be plonked in them and set on a gingham table cloth.  Coupled with the traditional curvacious form the jugs become symbols of comfort.



Title: Starlight Twist
Thrown porcelain
Oil-spot glaze on the body and lid with Clear Blue for the twisted handle.
completed: January 2013
 15 cm  high x 15 cm wide

Starlight Twist is a great success. This lid fits so perfectly, I'm very proud of it. It's a perfect pot for adding scented bath-salts.
Bought by Gretchen as a gift for her friend Carmen's 40th birthday




Title: When Life Gives You Lemons
Hand-built porcelain.
October 2012
Crack glaze under translucent glaze.
26cm hight x 15cm wide x 7cm deep

This jar was inspired by my bountiful lemon tree at Erawaan Escape.
I love it when the glaze gathers into a jewel of a drip, like it has on both sides of this jar.
