Decorative Collection

Available pieces from the studio

Each work in this collection reflects a dialogue between fire, sea, and earth — elements that define life on Vancouver Island’s rugged coast.

From flowing cobalt horizons to textured barnacle surfaces and grounded earthen forms, these vessels capture the slow conversation between creation and erosion.

Every piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand — one at a time — to preserve its individuality and sense of place.

Lava Series

Barnacle-textured surfaces with flowing glazes

The Lava series takes inspiration from the encrusted, textured surfaces found on Vancouver Island's tidal zones. Heavy glaze applications create cratered, barnacle-like textures and flowing movement. Carved surfaces add depth and shadow that shifts with the light—a dialogue between the raw coast and the transformative power of fire.

9" tall × 8" wide.

Lava Series — Vessel #2

Hakeme Series

Traditional brushwork with matte and gloss glazes

Inspired by the Hakeme technique found in both Japanese and Korean pottery traditions, this series features rhythmic brushwork applied to leather-hard clay. White slip is brushed across textured surfaces, then layered with flowing celadon and cobalt glazes. Each piece captures the gesture of the brush — a moment frozen in clay.

Gaia Series

Thrown and coiled earthen forms

The Terra series celebrates clay's most ancient construction method—hand coiling. Built slowly, coil upon coil, these vessels reference the human body and earth's primal feminine energy. Organic curves and grounded earthen glazes create forms that feel both ancient and contemporary. Each piece is a meditation on the vessel as holder, mother, and sculptural presence.
