On Colour
Colour, for me, is not decoration. It’s atmosphere.
A glaze can soften a line or sharpen it, bring tension or dissolve it. The colours I use – blues, greens, soft oranges – grow in thin layers, each firing adding depth that cannot be rushed. This slow, deliberate glazing process in ceramics is where the form begins to breathe.
I am looking for that moment where the colour settles into the form like breath settling into the body. Not loud, not shouting – just a presence that feels inevitable, a quiet dialogue between glaze and clay that shapes the piece’s character.
When a glaze opens slightly at the rim or deepens along a curve, it becomes part of the vessel’s rhythm, a quiet shift that draws the eye closer.
