That was 16 years ago. Today, of all the things I make from clay, miniatures feel the most like my own. Each piece is carefully formed using traditional ceramic techniques. From shaping the clay to glazing and firing, every step is done by hand—only at a much smaller scale.

With each tiny vessel, my hope is to grow in craftsmanship and detail. I want to give every piece the time it deserves: to shape it thoughtfully, to make it as intricate as possible, to fire it in unconventional ways, and to decorate it with things like touches of gold and luster and decals. I dream of making tiny cookware, building a tiny stove, and baking miniature muffins inside it. I am eager to keep exploring the world of miniature pottery—and the miniature community—with my tiny pots in tow.
