This is a ceramic sculpture depicting a human figure in motion, a dancing and juggling joker with a strange hat on his head.

This is a small vase made with an ash glaze and wood-fired at 1300°C. The tradition of ash glazes can be traced back to the Shang period in China (c.1500 BC), and it is thought they were produced accidentally, the result of white-hot wood ash being carried through the kiln with the draft of the fire and settling onto the pots, where the searing white heat melted it into a glaze. Different wood ashes alter the outcome dramatically, making it possible to achieve a wide range of unique finishes. This vase was decorated with a natural ash glaze mixed with oxides for shades.

This is an anagama fired bowl. It was thrown on the wheel, out of German clay and black-brown slip, then wood fired in karmazinu anagama for 114 hours. It features a dramatic array of colours and textures, and a rugged surface caused by a sample of anagama reductions.

This is an anagama fired bowl that was wood fired in karmazinu anagama for 114 hours. A white and blue slip creates a painted effect on the surface of the vessel. On the sides of the bowl, the outline of a mountain landscape can be seen, but all this is accidental, created during the firing.

A chawan, or teabowl, is ideal for drinking matcha tea. The rust-brown texture is made using a black slip.
