Hand-Painted

We laboriously apply underglazes and glazes to the fired surface as one would apply paint to canvas. Once fired in a glaze firing, these patterns and marks become indelible, created in glass formed during the firing and allowing the previously unseen colours to shine. After glaze firing, overglazes and lustres may be applied during yet another round of decoration. These finishes are applied directly to the glazed surface before the vessel undergoes the final firing of the process, completing the design and manifesting intent.

All the pieces in this collection feature decorations inspired by 1900s Japanese patterns, motifs and paintings. They are reimagined into contemporary function and decor via the use of modern materials, shapes and colours. The collection is divided into three series: Tricolour, Monochrome and Multicoloured Series.

Tricolour Series

This series features 1900s Japanese patterns and motifs reimagined into contemporary function and decor.

Monochrome Series

This series features black-and-white popular Japanese motifs, giving them a timeless feel.

Multicoloured Glaze Series
