Every piece begins slowly.

Porcelain is a temperamental clay body that is beautiful, delicate, and completely unforgiving if forced or rushed. It asks for patience. Time. And a lot of attention.

Each piece is shaped by hand, then left to rest until the clay reaches the exact consistency needed to refine edges, soften curves, and smooth surfaces. From there, the pieces dry for several days before their first firing. This initial bisque firing and cooling alone takes 24 hours.

Once cooled, every piece is inspected individually. Edges are refined, surfaces are sanded, and each form is carefully cleaned before glazing begins.

Glazing is where the mystery lives.

It’s a layered process. Multiple glazes, applied by hand, each requiring time to dry before the next can be added. Working at such a small scale makes this especially delicate. Colors are chosen thoughtfully, but glaze has a mind of its own. How glazes flow, overlap, and interact is never fully predictable.

That’s part of the magic.

After glazing, pieces return to the kiln for a second firing, where the surface transforms, turning liquid color into glass. Opening the kiln is always a moment of great anticipation. Often, the final result is a wonderfully beautiful surprise.

Some pieces go back for a third firing when gold or white gold details are added.

Only then does assembly begin - pairing forms, adding metalwork, and finishing each piece by hand. Even within a pair of earrings, no two pieces are ever identical. Each has its own subtle variations, texture, and movement.

This process takes time and can’t be rushed. Each is one of a kind.
