ebb and flow

A familiar sight on our local walks, from reservoirs, lakes and canals to small brooks running alongside the farmers fields.⁠ We wanted to capture this calming imagery in our ceramics.

Our incense holders are hand thrown on the pottery wheel and mimic gentle water ripples, like you’ve just thrown a small pebble into a pond.

For pieces like our hand built bowls, we recreated the dappled water surface by pressing the clay to form the shape, a technique known as ‘pinching’. Each piece starts off as a large ball and then with each press, it gradually forms into a soft, organic shape. We hoped to capture the surface of water and how light jumps and reflects across it, all enhanced with the use of this jewel-like blue glaze.
