A while ago, I created my own recipe for porcelain
I happened to have all the ingredients in the studio
This test piece had been waiting on the “to fire” shelf for quite some time,I finally fired it this week. The result is beautiful: not pure white, not creamy like Limoges, but a warm, bright white

This wool comes straight from my dog’s nest. I dipped it in liquid porcelain, and it transformed into a delicate, unexpected material, perfect for sculptural work.

A little sneak preview of one of the many porcelain towers I’ve started creating. This one belongs to Archivarion the Silent, the keeper of memories, guardian of what has been forgotten, and watcher of what is yet to come.

Works in Progress
For a while now, I’ve been fascinated by height and towers. I’ve admired great architecture all my life, and I think that’s why Now I’m exploring how to bring this into my own designs These two pieces are a work in progress #ceramicart #sculpture #art #porcelainart #sculptureart

Beautiful Mistake I -
This summer I began a new series of sculptures. Some came out just right, others… not so much.
This one collapsed, yet I find it stunning in its own way.
A mistake, but a beautiful one.

Taking my annual August break. Spain in August is beautiful but brutal, too hot, too crowded. I’ll be offline, walking, reading, resting, finishing a masterclass or two. Back on 27 August, fresh and new.

A giant brass safety pin holds a quiet collection: small two centimetre circles cut from mussel shells, fish otoliths, porcelain, brass, acrylic, and pearls with a determined sheen.

Today I stepped into my studio and decided: every day, I’ll just pick materials that speak to me in that moment and make a piece. No planning, just instinct.

The moment I posted about 1001 Pieces, the project I’ve been thinking about for years, I felt it. That quiet presence at my side. An old friend. Or maybe more like a shadow.

Doubt!

Though it was first made in 2022, it felt right to begin this project with this piece, a symbol of impact, memory, and resilience.

In summer 2025, I begin 1001 Pieces: a daily ritual of making. One piece a day using materials I’ve gathered and techniques I’ve honed. It may take 1001 days, or a lifetime. I’m not old, not young, but each day, I’ll create.
One piece. One moment. One story.
