In preparation for this collection, we have explored colours and shapes. Today I wanted to talk textures.
One of my favourite ways to experiment is to use white engobes.

The combination of this brown clay together with the white engobe and the white glaze outside makes the clay look a beautiful rusty red. The addition of the blue glaze that drips from the inside makes it a very rustic color combination.

It's a pleasure to see, because every little bit of the piece looks different and surprising.
I can reproduce the effect pretty reliably now, but no two pieces will ever look identical.

I am hoping these pieces will hold little snacks on the table or fresh fruits and that each time you turn them around, you will see something new and unexpected. I’m still aiming to release the collection on the first day of summer. Can’t wait!
