There is something incredibly grounding about a rich, forest-green glaze. For this piece, I focused on the tactile experience of holding a vessel. The rhythmic carvings aren’t just for visual interest\u2014they provide a natural grip that makes your morning coffee or tea feel like a small ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the more whimsical side of the wheel, I\u2019ve been experimenting with character-driven sculptural forms. This little blue lobster is more than just a decorative friend; he\u2019s a functional passive speaker<\/strong>! His wide-open mouth is designed to naturally amplify the sound from your mobile phone. If you look closely at his eyes, you\u2019ll see they are actually music notes<\/strong>, a subtle nod to his melodic purpose. Whether he\u2019s boosting your favorite playlist or holding a bouquet of flowers, he\u2019s bound to start a conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m thrilled to share that two of my recent pieces are currently on exhibition alongside a fantastic collection of works from my fellow local artists!
