Imperfect Tense Pottery
I was stressing, so I began making pottery. I am self-taught; I found my voice before I found labels. Intuitive iterations of Kurinuki—hollowing and carving clay without a wheel, slabs, coils, or pinching—are used for almost all vessels. All clay is local, I mix my own glazes, and pieces are food-safe unless noted. This intimate attention creates objects imbued with texture and feeling, with process embodied in product. Each piece is unique. Engaging & tactile, functional & artistic, Imperfect Tense Pottery loves being handled with thoughtful intent.
