Hands and clay

I dig clay from the Earth. From the Earth, where it rests countless years. It is a part of the nature around us. I mix it with water and other materials to achieve the best qualities. I transform this raw clay to the soft clay that is a joy to hold in hands.

Wood and fire

The fire is another natural element. In my anagama kiln the fire brings the pots to life and the ash from burning wood falls and melts on the pots and creates natural wild glaze. This magical process takes several days.

Tea and love

There is a lot of work with each pot after the firing such as grinding and cleaning. After that it is not the end. It is begining. The begining of pot´s life. Now it is ready for brewing tea for you, your friends or your loved ones. It is ready to share love for tea.
