Yellow crystals growing in this green glaze ✨ An elusive effect that is never guaranteed with this glaze mix. Kiln placement, object shape and rate of temperature changes all influence the crystal growth.
Carved Shino mug. The gradient was accidental but I'm into it. One I'm still deciding whether to keep for me 😉
Leaving Singapore I wanted some custom boxes for ceramic gifts. These boxes are inspired by the Japanese culture of handmade ceramics coming in wooden boxes, that usually bear the signature of the craftsman.
Another piece from my fine ware collection. It was hollowed from a single block of porcelain, and has been finished with a layer of cherry blossom shino.
Kurinuki teacup detail with jarrah Eucalyptus ash and shino. (Sold)
In my last two weeks in Singapore I made 4 mugs for myself. I wanted some reduction-fired work for me, as I don't know whether I will have convenient access to gas kilns in NZ. Electric is far more common and much cheaper to buy (oxidation firing).
Kurinuki teacup in pure porcelain. Porcelain is a nightmare to carve, it is a material far more suited to throwing or slip casting.
Just a note that I'll be operating under Carragh Knapp from now on. You were really getting the hang of pronouncing all the silent letters in my first name, so I thought I would revert to my maiden name to keep you on your toes.⁠
Pure porcelain crumple cup from a series of fine works I started this year. The glaze on this teacup is called 'Cherry Blossom Shino', which I find very evocative.⁠
