Sometimes, out of impatience, I try something I know is bound to fail. Like this badly applied glaze on a badly finished piece.

And sometimes, somehow, it kinda works.

Sometimes, being far from perfect is what makes it perfect in some eyes.

These small cups have served for more tests than I can count. This one is one of the few I was genuinely happy with.

When the glaze isn't perfect, but the imperfections don't look like mistakes...

One of my latest vases, in Sea Drift.

I was reluctant to leave the interior unglazed at first, but I think I'm liking it more and more...

Sometimes, trial pieces work out better than expected. This one was a test for a newly formulated glaze, applied with a brush, which is something I don't usually do. And it worked out quite nicely.

My very first pot! Funny how the craft is called pottery, yet I hadn't actually made a single pot before this one. Only cups, vases, plates...

I've been revisiting some of my very first cup designs, this time with a straighter shape.

I threw and trimmed them mostly by feel, without much measuring, which made for a set of cups that are similar but never quite identical.

This must have been my first vessel where I had to stand up to be able to throw it and reach all the way to the bottom.

Sunbathing before the kiln.

Sometimes I like to make sure certain pieces are fully "bone dry" before firing, and the easiest way is often to just let them bask in the sun for a while.
