Close-up of hands throwing a clay vessel

01

Question

What does a designer learn when the material argues back?

02

Idea

Let process remain visible. Nothing sanded away, nothing corrected.

03

World

Clay, ash glaze, unpolished stone, low natural light.

04

Making

  • Throwing and hand-building tests across three clay bodies
  • Glaze trials documented as a material archive
  • Macro photography of edges, cracks and repairs
Objects lit in a dark exhibition space

05

Experience

Objects meant to be held daily, not displayed behind glass.

06

Result

A first collection of eighteen unique pieces with a documentary photographic archive.

07

Reflection

After thirty years of working in pixels and print, clay reminded me that time is a material too.
