I have been having more fun glazing lately… can you tell? 😁

These bowls have layers, texture & spashes like a tumultuous sea.🌊 🌊🌊

Both sculpture and vessel—wheel-thrown, shaped by hand, and rooted in the wabi-sabi spirit of imperfect beauty.

My latest interview has just been published!

Especially interesting for anyone interested in #slowingdown and visiting #Catalunya on #creativeretreat.

FrikiFish @frikifish.bsky.social · Sep 1

Deep dive #interview with the founder of The Craft—a centuries-old house turned creative #retreat— to talk about restoration, rhythm, and what it means to make space for beauty. It’s part conversation, part invitation to breathe a little deeper.

This piece feels like it was grown rather than made.

New seascape vases being uploaded to my shop… and probably the last of those for the time being. I’m feeling the need to get grounded in some deep earthy, textural work.

Part mother, part child, part Buddha. My very first #sculpture is still with me today, sitting under the olive tree.

This piece feels ancient and elemental—like something unearthed after a volcanic event

Just published my latest conversation for FrikiFish—this time with Frankie Malone, a #Barcelona based artist whose way of working is about instinct & emotion. We talked about #photography, creative freedom, and how art finds its way into unexpected places—like hospitals, alleyways, and dream states.

FrikiFish @frikifish.bsky.social · Jul 29

“We can’t ever retake the same picture. The energy, the light, the vibe—it’s never the same.”

#Photographer and #artist Frankie Malone talks instinct, overlooked corners of Barcelona, and making images that feel like a deep breath.

This week I followed a craving for dark, textured clay—wheel-thrown and altered works in progress…
Grounded, warm, and raw. 🌑🔥 #ceramics #blackclay #pottery
