Coiling Ceramic Vessel, from Building to Wood-firing

Starting from a pinch pot, I create a wide bowl shape before changing direction to build inwardly. I then work on the fold of the top part before changing direction again and closing with a narrow classical neck. The piece is wood-fired to about 1300 degrees, finished with a shino glaze. Available on the website - July 31.

Coiling has its do’s and don'ts, tips and tricks that allow for the creation of a wide range of forms. Through trial and error, I’ve developed systems that guide me through this process.

Over the years, I’m learning how to recreate what I envision in new forms, sometimes altering the scale, how to move my hands to manifest measured curves in the physical world, and how to collaborate with clay in a way that honors its limitations while also freeing my creative desires.

I offer The Woman Vessel Workshop with the intention to share these systems and skills with you. I hope they will provide a map for you to navigate your own practice and bring you faster to the results you want to see for yourself.
