Nocturne Vase I
The Nocturne Vase is hand-thrown in dark stoneware and finished with Hakeme — a traditional Japanese white slip technique, brushed with a hake brush in sweeping strokes. Over this, deep blue glaze is splashed in layers, creating fluid movement and tonal depth across the surface.
Fired at 1230ºC, the result is a quiet interplay of contrast — white slip, blue glaze, and black clay echoing shadow, water, and sky.
Its form draws from the rugged contours of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, reflecting a blend of my Japanese heritage and the textures of northern landscapes.
Each vase is one of a kind — a vessel shaped by hand, rhythm, and gesture.
