Studio principle
A good object should reward the second look, and survive the thousandth touch.

KilnLoom / Contemporary Craft
Objects with a handprint.
I build useful, collectible pieces where fired clay meets woven rhythm, balancing imperfect marks, durable materials and quiet color.

01 / About
Material first.
Meaning follows.
My studio practice is rooted in direct contact with materials: clay, natural fibers, wood, pigments and the tools that leave evidence of the maker.
Selected focus
Small-batch craft for homes, hospitality and thoughtful collections.
I collaborate with architects, interior teams, independent brands and private collectors to translate a material idea into a finished object or repeatable collection.

02 / Work process
From raw
to resolved.
Every commission keeps room for material behavior. The workflow is structured, but the final character is earned by the material.
01
Source
Select fibers, clays, woods and pigments for the intended touch, weight and lifespan.
02
Shape
Prototype by hand, test joins and let the tool marks become part of the visual language.
03
Fire / finish
Refine through firing, drying, weaving, sanding and layered surface treatment.
04
Release
Document the finished piece, prepare its care notes and deliver it ready for use or display.
03 / Expertise
A tactile
toolkit.
Instead of generic percentages, capabilities are shown as a studio "recipe": the materials and techniques I reach for most often.
Ceramic hand-buildingCore
Pinch, coil, slab construction, texture, glaze testing and small-run consistency.
Fiber & loom workAdvanced
Natural fibers, structured weaving, fringe, tension studies and mixed-material surfaces.
Wood finishingAdvanced
Hand sanding, oil finishes, joinery accents and restrained furniture-scale details.
Custom collectionsCore
Sampling, specification sheets, repeatability, packaging coordination and studio delivery.
