Craftsperson · Handmade in small editions
Made slowly. Felt deeply.
I shape honest materials into tactile objects for homes, rituals and everyday use, where the hand remains visible in every curve, join and finish.

The studio
Craft is a conversation between pressure, patience and material memory.
My practice moves between functional objects and sculptural forms. I work with clay, timber and natural finishes, letting grain, texture and subtle irregularity guide the final piece.
Every object begins with a sketch, a material test and a question: what will this feel like to live with?

Leave room for the material.

Understand the purpose, setting and character a piece needs to carry.

Make
Build slowly, adjusting to the material and preserving meaningful variation.
Finish
Refine edges, touch and durability so the object is ready for real life.
