Wood-Fired Functional Ware, 2025-Present

I got first introduced to wood-firings while I was staying with Lotte Glob in 2024. I have researched kiln building before and I am fascinated with learning how you can control the flames to decorate ceramics. In 2025, I got a bursary to attend a Kiln Building Course at Hospitalfield, taught by Robin Wilson from Oxford Kilns. Through the connections from this course, I joined other wood firing groups and we also continued to fire the fast-fire kiln at Hospitalfield.

Here are some examples of my functional ware, many of the pieces are glazed with plant ashes, wild clay slip or glazes containing natural materials.
