My Ceramics Passion

In 2014, I began studying ceramics at TAFE in Lismore

after years of wanting to learn.

What started as a hobby soon became a passion.

I fell in love with clay and the process of throwing on the wheel.

Receiving commissions for tableware from newly opened restaurants encouraged me to pursue ceramics professionally.

Creating work that people truly enjoy using has always been important to me, and that commitment continues to guide my practice.

In 2023, I joined a wood-fired kiln building project, which inspired me to explore more original and expressive work through wood firing.

More than ten years later, I still feel that my journey in ceramics is only just beginning.

Plates Made in Collaboration with Restaurants

These plates are part of a collection I created through custom orders from restaurants.

Through meetings with each client, we carefully decide on the size, colour, and shape of the pieces.

Sometimes, I begin by creating a single sample piece before moving forward with the full order.

Seeing the plates I made with love being used in restaurants and beautifully presented with delicious food is one of my greatest joys.

Sitting down and enjoying a meal served on my own work is always a special moment for me.

A Six-Month Wood-Firing Kiln Project

Honestly, I had never known labour like this before.

We began with nothing — even the refractory bricks we were promised lay buried beneath the soil.
Digging them out by hand was where the journey began.

Each brick was cut carefully to follow the curve of the kiln.
Cement mixed, carried, laid — again and again.

The work felt endless at times, both physically brutal and relentlessly precise.
So many moments of undoing, redoing, and trying again.

Yet after six months, when the kiln finally stood complete, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for having shared such a profound experience.

Even now, a single firing demands over three tonnes of wood, fed into the kiln for 72 continuous hours.
This intensity is exactly what gives wood firing its deep, transformative beauty.

Having come this far, I want to create work that has the power to move the human heart.
