This was a fun piece to make! Now these Mediterranean vibes are off to live in the Netherlands.

The clay breaks and the form holds. Resilience isn’t about staying intact, but about staying open to change.

I have been having more fun glazing lately… can you tell? 😁

These bowls have layers, texture & spashes like a tumultuous sea.🌊 🌊🌊

Both sculpture and vessel—wheel-thrown, shaped by hand, and rooted in the wabi-sabi spirit of imperfect beauty.

My latest interview has just been published!

Especially interesting for anyone interested in #slowingdown and visiting #Catalunya on #creativeretreat.
Deep dive #interview with the founder of The Craft—a centuries-old house turned creative #retreat— to talk about restoration, rhythm, and what it means to make space for beauty. It’s part conversation, part invitation to breathe a little deeper.

New seascape vases being uploaded to my shop… and probably the last of those for the time being. I’m feeling the need to get grounded in some deep earthy, textural work.

Part mother, part child, part Buddha. My very first #sculpture is still with me today, sitting under the olive tree.

This piece feels ancient and elemental—like something unearthed after a volcanic event
