Handmade ceramics
I make every piece by hand, one at a time, in a small studio. No batches — no two are alike.
My Escape Pottery is my way of slowing down and working with my hands. I make every piece myself from start to finish, right here in the studio.
If you'd like a custom order or to reserve a piece, write to me and we'll talk it through.

The cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes still alive today. It was developed by the astronomer John Herschel in 1842, and Anna Atkins used it soon after to create what is considered the first book illustrated with photographs: a collection of British algae printed in that unmistakable blue.
If there's one technique I'm completely in love with, it's smoke firing in a pit —pit firing—. There's no glaze, no exact recipe and, above all, no way of fully knowing what you'll find when you open the pit. Every piece comes out unique, with its deep blacks, its copper glints and those warm blushes that seem painted by the fire itself.
Smoke firing in pottery (or pit firing) is one of the most fascinating techniques there is. Every piece comes out different, with metallic reflections, unpredictable tones, and textures that seem alive.
