(Intro)

I make porcelain pieces finished in crystalline glaze. The crystals grow in the kiln on their own terms, so every piece is the only one of its kind.

(About)

Each glaze starts as chemistry I mix by hand: zinc, silica and a few colorants. The firing does the rest, growing crystals across the surface over hours of slow cooling. I can steer it, but I can't repeat it. What you take home happened once.
