Ceramics

Pattern Design & Functional Pottery

Underglaze Monoprinting

My current obsession! I am able to fuse my love of pattern making and drawing with ceramics with this new-to-me technique.

My partner and I were commissioned by Brooklyn, NY artists Smudge Studio to design and create a series of tilted cups to be used in a tea ceremony around the country. Each cup tilted at a 23.5º angle.


"Tilt of the Earth 23.5º Teacup signals and responds to the highly consequential fact that the Earth rotates at an angle as it orbits the sun. The planet’s tilted spin generates continuous change that directly shapes the ongoing evolution of Earth-life. It causes the transitions from day to night as well as seasons, ocean currents, and climates. Human bodies/brains/minds literally embody these forces in our multiple biological and cultural clocks." -Smudge Studio
