It all begins with an idea…

I have a habit of sketching out my ideas in a sketchbook, a practice that not only consolidates all my thoughts in one place but also serves as a crucial step in my creative process. These sketches allow me to visualize the form of the piece I'm about to create and strategize my approach. For example, when envisioning a tall item with a complex shape that cannot be crafted in a single session on the wheel, I might need to throw it in three distinct parts and then assemble them. The sketch is invaluable here, guiding me on the specific shapes to throw and how best to join them seamlessly. Sketching is an essential part of my workflow, bridging the gap between conception and creation.

Once you have an idea, the rest is about executing it. ⤵
