Daily Rituals
I am drawn to the pause of simplicity and find beauty in the repetition of mark making. The intervals between each line are meaningful and satisfying, creating patterns, rhythm, moving us along towards order. Using a Korean technique that is about a thousand years old connecting me to another time and another people. I combine a deep passion for modern design and simplicity to create beautifully balanced and unique dinnerware that seamlessly blend tradition and innovation.

…then paint a blue slip over the piece, the colored slip gets down into the cuts and then I wipe the surface clean.

Inspiration
I am the oldest of a large family who valued hard work, education and music.
My earliest memories of being creative were hours spent with my grandmother building dollhouses out of scraps of materials and drawing with crayons on every wall of my parents’ house. It was my grandmother that taught me the little song, ‘I am a little teapot…’ including posing as a teapot with left hand on hip and right hand waving in the air!
Style
A few years ago after a long academic career, I began to develop a new line of functional porcelain dinnerware using a 12th century Korean decorating technique called Mishima. I would incise a design in the body of a pot; fill it in with a contrasting colored clay or slip and then cover with a transparent glaze.
