The pots are hand thrown on the potters wheel using high quality English porcelain. The patterning is achieved with the sgraffito technique. A thin layer of clay stained with black pigment is applied to the surface of the pot with a brush, then selectively carved away freehand to reveal the bright white claybody of the porcelain underneath. These geometric designs are carved without the use of rulers or guides. Each piece is unique.
