I’m a ceramicist living & working in Price Edward Island.

I combine my love for Japanese ceramics, traditional and ancient techniques to design and produce useful domestic objects. Mostly thrown, these contemporary ceramics are intended for everyday use and are entirely handmade by me. In the name of responsible manufacturing, I am aiming to use local clays extracted from the nearby beaches.

Researching, digging, testing, and working with wild clay helps me connect to a place, I dig small quantities of each material, process clays by hand, and use them pure when possible.

I aim at abstracting as little as possible from the original earth, maintaining what could seem an imperfection, be it soluble salts surfacing during the firing, organic and mineral impurities, or non-homogeneous texture, to respect what the material really is. I want to embrace the marks of a maker and the stories behind them.

Currently I’m continuing to develop my functional line and refining my throwing skills. I also have acquired some vintage flower pot plaster molds, and will be learning the art of slip casting.

My glazing approach is in a constant state of progression as a I learn about my local materials and how to process them.

I document my work on instagram, where I write about the processes involved in my craft and the ideas and discoveries I encounter along the way.
