This vessel is a part of my new 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.

In my new work I explore this idea of belonging 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 incorporated with black, iron rich sand from Piha Beach NZ, used coffee grounds from Honest to Pete roasters at the Beaumont Studios and grog. The interior has been coated with a layer of white slip and sealed with a clear glaze.

Dimensions:
7” diameter x 5” tall

Styling Tip:
Place a kenzan (flower frog) inside, submerge slightly with water and arrange florals as desired.

Ready to ship.
