Rabbit escape jar - 10/2025
.
.
.
Thrown and altered in Maine, bisqued then shipped back home to Virginia to glaze fire. Each rabbit was individually sculpted and took way longer than I expected. One of my favorite pieces I’ve made recently.

“Cardboard” pitcher and cups - 9/2025
.
.
.
I had a lot of fun working with the Laguna 80 and 40 clays and trying to make ceramic “cardboard” pieces. They’re not very functional to be honest, but I like how they look.

Hummingbird jar - 9/2025
.
.
.
Finally fired this piece, the lid was stuck and I had tried all the usual methods to separate it. I broke one of the wings in my initial attempts. I finally got it loose by using a needle tool and very carefully chiseling it free from the body.

Goose incense holder 8/2025 (WIP) -
.
.
.
I saw an antique Chinese goose shaped incense holder online and I wanted to make my own version out of clay. The body is a bottle form which I laid on its side and altered. I sliced about 1/3 of the way through and hand built a gallery inside.

Rabbit moon jar(WIP) - 6/2025
.
.
.
A test run before I scale up. I wanted to make a piece that connected my love of the moon jar form with shared East / Southeast Asian mythology, perhaps in a more literal sense.
I’m planning on adding more rabbits to this.

Sea otter jar (WIP)
.
I’ve been having a lot of fun making little jars with animals as the knob/handle. I’ve also been trying to focus on trimming make it super light and chattered the jar too. You have to hold the otter’s hands or feet to open the jar!

My ode to the James River here in VA in celadon and gold. I’ve long admired Korean ceramics since starting my pottery journey and this is also my attempt at translating some of the elements I love about it to my style.
