Testing and experimentation is a huge part of the process when it comes to working with ceramic material. The more you test, the more you learn… and I test a LOT! Which sometimes yields the most beautiful moments.

For the first-time, I am sharing my studies as a way to commemorate my experience at EKWC. Each piece was created using the clay and glazes supplied by EKWC and glazed-fired multiple times to obtain the unique, signature surface.

I hope you enjoy these mini-MAJOR moments as much as I do. Thank you so much for your support!
