Each piece in this set of four round plates and a large oval serving platter is made from hand formed porcelain clay. The images on the set are individually hand carved using a reductive technique called sgraffito, which produces a lovely image similar to a wood block print. The pieces are further embellished with delicate vintage style decals, thoughtfully applied both the front and back of each piece. This gorgeous set would make such a statement displayed in the home. However, all of my work is fully functional and these pieces would make an incredible presentation at the table.

My handmade porcelain work is rooted in both a need to make beautiful things with my hands and a deep connection to the clay itself. From the time I smell the damp clay in the bag and begin forming it with my hands to the magical moment when I open the lid of the kiln after the final glaze firing, I continue to be amazed by the incredible strength and wonderful delicacy of porcelain.
My work is created through hand building and the forms are decorated using incising techniques called mishima and sgraffito. These processes produce illustrations that resemble a printmaker's etchings or woodblock prints. I further develop the imagery on many pieces using repurposed vintage decals; often firing a pot multiple times until I am satisfied with the piece. The end result is a unique and layered story contained within each perfect piece of completely handmade pottery that is at once current and timeless, and that I believe will bring joy and meaning to your daily life for years to come.
