container

DIA90xH170mm, Hong Kong

For the Something Old Something New joint event, a bottle with lid  in real gold and blue barium glaze finish (not food safe).  Wheel thrown in one piece, lid is then cut from the body.  Gold is applied after the stoneware firing,  refire to a lower temperature of 750 C.

This dream like bottle made me think of Calvino’s Invisible City.

candle holder

The joint venture with Soil and Cobo is still on till the end of the month, if you are interested in contemporary pottery come and take a look!

For me, these candle shades are like a father and son having a conversation with each other.

These candle shades are unglazed white stoneware, wheel thrown and then distorted, they are then carefully hand carved to get the openings for light.
