Glazing with stone

Every glaze in the studio begins as a place. Before it is a recipe it is a photograph, a handful of grit in a pocket, a memory of how light sat on a cliff face.

Iceland basalt

The bone glaze that runs through the Erosion collection started on a black beach. We chase the way basalt bleaches and crumbles at the waterline, that chalky break against the dark stone underneath.

Letting the kiln finish it

The last word always belongs to the firing. We can mix and test and tune, but the kiln decides where the glaze pools and where it breaks. That is why no two pieces match, and why we would not want them to.
