Earthy Fine

This batch spans three months. Instead of glossy glaze, I leave the raw surface from throwing. With trimming knives and sponges, the groggy stoneware gets a fine, gritty texture, although never as smooth as porcelain, but full of character. The inlay method involves pressing high-value material into a plain clay body. The contrast adds not just visual interest, but a tactile one too—two textures speaking together.
