Willemite Ceramics

I make all the artwork on this site.

From idea to design to testing original clay and glaze formulas, to wheel throwing, casting, moldmaking and sculpting.

I photograph and ship each piece myself, and strive to put care into every step of the process.

I like to use techniques for decorating the surfaces of these pieces which are inherently unique, such as crystalline glazes, Mocha Diffusion, and Neriagé. Each of these techniques creates one of a kind pieces that cannot be replicated.

I develop my own porcelain and glaze formulas.

Creating a porcelain that is durable and acts as a blank canvas to show the glazes I develop.

These glazes are designed to form crystals within the thin layer of glaze that coats the piece, these crystals grow within the molten glass while the kiln is white hot.

Willemite is one of a few crystals that will form in these glazes, it reflects sunlight in a beautiful shimmering way, which gemologists refer to as "chatoyancy".

A technique in which two clays are marbled together and then carved through to create intricate, almost symmetrical patterns.

This technique is very fun (and challenging), it's exciting to see the detailed patterns emerge as i carve, these patterns often resemble a Rorschach Test.

These cache pots and planters are designed for wild plant hair, but also to adorn a home with a serene and peaceful sculpture.

Some pieces I make in sets, or in matching glaze colors. But this collection is for experimental and exclusivly unique pieces.
