Made on site in Malaysia under a patchy corrugated roof with mosquitoes everywhere and monsoon rains bucketing through the rusty iron holes. Dried over a coconut fire. Bisqued by the old kiln master Henko in an anagama. And finally, Aquagama fired by our team of artists, continually stoking the double dragon kiln over 80 hrs before it slumbered for 2 days.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Set of 2 pinched black clay whiskey cups, now online. Unglazed and beautiful.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #anagama #whiskeytumbler #woodfired #woodfiredceramics #ceramicartist #womenwhowoodfire #kilnfolk #japaneseceramics #rusticceramics #whiskeycup #wabisabiinteriors #ceramicskills #aquagama #blackclay #waterkiln #blackceramics #ceramica #contemporarycraft #pottery #woodfiredpottery #wabisabiceramics #anagamafired #pinchpots #sgceramics #sgexpats #sgpottery #singaporeceramics #nzceramics #ceramicartist #reductionfired⁠ ⁠

Hi guys! Here's a snap of some blissed out bisqueware before it went in for the woodfiring last month. I'm back for 2020 'officially' today and my head is bursting with ideas after my NZ travels/ being blessed with a stack of new ceramics books! If you're one of my new followers haere mai & thanks for joining me 😊🙏

These bowls are on their way to Melbourne as my donation to #pottersinprotest . Choose a bowl for $30 and have it topped up with gelato from @piccolinagelateria . . . There will be some amazing pottery steals here for a wonderful cause! All proceeds go to @ausconservation to help the poor little critters / environment affected by the horrific ongoing Australian bushfires. 🐨

My first teapot ever ✨ Super happy to finally share the Kurinuki Teapot I made for my older brother for Christmas. . . The body was slowly hollowed from a single large ball of sandy clay, before attaching the slab handle and foot, and drying veryyy slowly. These guys are famously a challenge for potters and I definitely have a new level of respect for handmade teapots! Once dry there was careful transferring to the firing studio, bisque and sanding, nervous glazing, successful glaze firing (thank the kiln gods 🙏), and pickup followed by a very high strung bus ride home. . . Ps. You don't know the meaning of stress until you're carrying a handmade teapot with a handle like this on a flight from Singapore to Sydney 😅

Wee hikidashi teacup from the last woodfiring in Ipoh. Possibly the most exciting process ever. . . I'll post a vid of it being pulled out by teacher Abraham Ling (white hot) in the next week or so when I eveeeentually find time to sort out all my Malaysia footage. Meanwhile I recommend checking out the vid tag #hikidashi for a browse.

Happy new year! I'm celebrating down here in New Zealand over the break. Thanks so much for the support in 2019, it's been ace 🙏 Can't wait to pick up my newest batch of glazed pieces when I get back to Singapore in a week or so!

Swipe for the new 360 on this one. Greenware vs post 80hr aquagama woodfiring. Unglazed except for some white shino coating the interior. Yep, that shine is alllll ash. . . (Sorry my phone can't take quality video, I will get around to snapping these new pieces on my dslr soon!)

Wobbly bowls in Chai now online! Just a heads up that I will be closing the online shop from this Thursday until early Jan as I'm away for Christmas / NY. . . I'd also like to note that the @eatandsip.co Open Studio has closed, but you can still visit the studio later this week by making an appointment.

Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and pepper steeped in milk. Mmm.. spicy chai bowls coming to the shop this week (+ more milk and sesame colourways).
