Hand Altered Ceramics
The next level of elegance is in the creation itself. Working with porcelain has given me this rare opportunity to explore subtlety and grace. I have moved on to embrace the quiet, natural qualities of the material and to celebrate its inherent glass-like texture and translucence. I shape porcelain into hand-built or wheel-thrown forms, then alter and refine each piece by hand. The true beauty of the finished work is both functional and dynamic, designed to enhance and accent your home decor.

The Bare Collection
Wheel thrown porcelain vessels that are hand altered through the use of water etching. The exterior of the pieces are unglazed to reveal the natural beauty of porcelain. The absence of color creates more of a focus on the form itself.
Water etching is a technique in which areas of the clay are masked off with a water tight substrate. Then the clay material is carefully sponged away to achieve the desired depth of the design.
