TATAMI
This collection is inspired by the design of woven grasses in traditional tatami mats. Each precisely carved lines reflect a moment of meditation and serene concentration, inviting to find tranquillity in the rhythmic regularity of the pattern, inspired by tradition Japanese tatami surfaces. The exterior of each piece is deliberately left unglazed to further highlight the earthy colours of the clay and the tactile aspect of the piece.
All my products are handmade in my Greenwich garden studio. My glazes and slips are my own personal recipes. They are applied by either pouring, dipping or brushing. Movement is often added so that they cover the piece with various drips, transparencies and even cracks sometime. "Happy" accidents are welcomed and in my opinion, are inherent to handmade products.
Each piece is unique and when a piece is offered as a small batch or within a collection, small variations among the pieces of a same set are to be expected.
