THE CERAMICS LAB

Each piece starts outside the studio — on a walk along the Merrimack, or the flats at low tide, where the water has already done the work of finding a rugged shoreline, a ripple, a rhythm. Back in the studio, clay becomes a way of translating that: not copying the sea, but carrying its logic into form.

Handcrafted ceramic vases with a white glaze and blue drips.
