I started ceramics in 2024 through Joa's classes, and I've been hooked since. I'm not exactly gifted with manual skills (quite the opposite), but there's something about shaping clay that feels both frustrating and deeply satisfying. It's become a space to disconnect, to struggle a bit, and to enjoy the process of creating something tangible—however imperfect. Here's a small selection of pieces I've made along the way.
My Ceramic Work
Cheese Board
Hand-thrown stoneware cheese board with a matte glaze finish and an aspirational Pollock touch
2024 • Stoneware
Small Bowl
Small bowl with a bubbly finish. This was my second piece.
2024 • White clay
Coffee Mug
My first ever piece with a rusty finish. I'm not sure if I like it or not.
2024 • Terracotta clay
Soap Holder
Inspired by an idea I saw on Pinterest, this is a stand for soap or cleaning sponge. Was also one of the most complex pieces I've made.
2024 • White clay
Small Vase
Small vase with a matte finish. It's very imperfect, but I like how it turned out.
2024 • White clay
Small Face #1
One of the things I've repeated most are these sort of small faces. This was the first one together with the following one.
2024 • White clay
Small Face #2
This one was made with a different clay, and it's a bit more imperfect (specially the beard). I like it.
2024 • White clay
Small Face #3
This one's for the kids — a tiger face, intentionally a bit childish, as a gift for a friend's child.
