Wood-Fired Collection

This is my very first wood firing collection.


Every piece begins in my London studio in Hackney before traveling to the Oxford Kilns, a project run by Dr. Robin Wilson and Oxford University. Wood-firing is a massive team effort—a communal labor that shifts the work from the quiet of the studio to the intensity of the kiln.
The collection is the result of two distinct processes: some pieces are fired in a Fast Fire kiln for 13 hours, while others emerge from a 72-hour Anagama firing led by Svend Bayer and Brigitte Colleaux. Including the wood preparation and the slow cooling period, the entire process takes anywhere from three days to nearly two weeks.
Stoking the kilns to 1300c allows the atmosphere itself to become a collaborator. The path of the flames and the falling wood ash leave permanent, unrepeatable marks on the clay; because of this volatile process, no two pieces are ever the same.
