Willemite Ceramics

Ceramic art by Evan Cornish-Keefe

From idea to design, to testing original clay and glaze formulas, to wheel throwing, casting, moldmaking and sculpting, I make all the work on this site.

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

I like to use various 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.

Crystalline Glazes

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".

Neriage

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.

Porcelain with Sterling Silver

Making jewelry began for me as a way to turn glaze test tiles into finished pieces.

Now it has evolved to a new line of earrings and necklaces available in seven different crystalline glazes, and finished with sterling silver.
