”There’s something very addictive about working with clay. The slowness of it makes time stop, but you still feel as if you’re keeping up with life. It’s a material that gives you a firm hold of the world.

Tableware is much more than just platters or containers for food. I think it adds comfort to everyday life. An archetypal bowl or cup tells a story about something bigger—about sharing or storing. That’s why making one remains interesting year after year.”
