Love opening the kiln for material tests — from Farnham and London clays to Ytri-Fagradalur and Krýsuvíkur clays, with basalt, black beach, and Kleifarvatn sands, and volcanic lava fragments gathered from Iceland ✨ More to come &m

New material explorations underway at @uca_ceramics_glass — some hits, some misses, but that’s all part of the process! The next round is in the kiln now, and I’m already excited to see what Monday brings 😅

Two of the jars can be set on its bottom or on the side to create different landscapes

I always have a soft spot for my first jar in the collection, just how small but impactful it is... it really incorporates the brutalist atmosphere I wanted, as well as I can't get enough of the big seamline from the mould.

The family of three is finally ready!

Three versions of Moli... one is missing its lid, did not make it out of the mould but you can really see how they interact with each other! A little family.

The difference between a first cast and a 100something cast!
I love how every cast is unique and their mould seams grow with every cast.

There’s nothing like the first cast from a new mould!

New jars in the making! These are the clay masters — thrown, trimmed, and carefully carved. This is just one stage in the intricate process of creating my jars. Next up: mold-making, where each section becomes a 2- to 3-part mold.
Every stage h
