Inspiration and Making: I’ve always loved Chinese Red Birch trees, their unique colour, the glorious shine of the satin bark and contrast of the more textured nodes. So it was natural for me to respond to these beautiful trees and create some ‘Tree Trunk Vessels’ for contemporary spaces. Each vessel is made using a toasted clay with iron inclusions, fired to stoneware temperature (giving the rich brown colour) and decorated with wild clay slips and underglaze to enhance the textures. Each one has different textural qualities, but all have a clear glaze inside, meaning you can fill them with water for functional use.

Sustainability: Where possible, I once fire my vessels, meaning they have a lower carbon foot-print. I use green energy to run my electric kilns and enjoy pit firing when appropriate. Many of the clays I use are mindfully foraged from local areas and I also up-cycle discarded clays from local schools.
