This vessel is a part of my current series, Grounded in Place, a collection I’ve been developing since the start of the year. It’s inspired by my recent visit to Japan and the distinct regional pottery aesthetics shaped by local materials, where clay becomes inherently connected to place.

I explore this idea of my work belonging to a place by incorporating sand from New Zealand (where I grew up) and used coffee grounds from my local roaster in Vancouver (where I live now), creating lusciously tactile ceramics that tell an evolving, place-based story.

Materials:
Porcelain swirled with black, iron rich sand from Piha Beach NZ, used coffee grounds from Honest to Pete roasters at the Beaumont Studios and grog. The movement of the potter’s wheel is what creates the pattern. The interior has been sealed with a clear glaze.

Dimensions:
6.5” diameter x 7.5” tall,
3” opening

Styling Tip:
A very versatile vase suited for larger bouquets. We recommend including a few delicate blooms to accentuate the detailing in the vase.
