Raku
These works begin with a bisque firing followed by a rapid second firing. While still hot, the pieces are placed into combustible organic materials, which create unique markings and vibrant colors. This dramatic process results in one-of-a-kind textures and finishes, celebrating the unpredictable beauty of fire and smoke.
Pit-fired
Starting with bisque-fired stoneware, these vessels undergo a second, slow firing in a pit filled with smoldering organic materials. This traditional process imparts rich, earthy colors and unique surface patterns—each piece bearing the marks of fire, smoke, and time.
Stoneware
Durable and food-safe, stoneware combines time-honored craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Prized for its sturdy forms and consistent, rich glazes, these pieces seamlessly blend traditional techniques with contemporary design—offering beauty and function for everyday use.
wood-fired
Bisque-fired stoneware undergoes a second, prolonged firing in wood-fired kilns. The Pacific Northwest is most known for wood-firings in Anagama kilns. These multi-week firings require around-the-clock teams to carefully stoke and monitor the temperature, resulting in unique surface textures and rich, natural ash glazes that reflect the intensity of the fire and the skill of the potters.
