The process of commissioning a carved vessels can be very customisable making for a highly personal outcome. Each aspect of the design is adaptable to personal preference, from the colour and form to the image used in the pattern mapping to plan the carving, previous commissions have used favourite paintings, photographs of pets and even wedding vows.

​

​

Usually a commission begins with a conversation where we can discus what you have in mind, this can be done in person at my London studio, over the phone or email, whichever you prefer. The starting point is often the size of the vessel, but can also be budget. Following this, a design document is made for you to approve.

​

The form of the vessel can be adapted from my previous works or from sketches in my sketchbooks, taking into account your stylistic preferences. My pots are fired without glazes, meaning that the final colour and textures that of the clay. There are many to choose from, with various shades of black, white, terracotta, brown and grey.
