Small artisan batches
A craft approach
I shape each piece by hand in stoneware. I favour small batches with simple, functional forms. Firings are done with gas in a reduction atmosphere, and soon also in an electric kiln in an oxidation atmosphere, offering different colour palettes. Each piece thus bears subtle variations.

I also create pieces in small batches. If you're looking for a specific use, a precise idea, or a coherent set, we can discuss it. Each project is considered on a case-by-case basis.
For colours, I favour glazes I work with regularly. Glaze work requires many tests and significant research time, which limits possible variations.
