Small strange tools, shipped anyway.

Things I built because the alternative was not building them.

How this is made.

One HTML file, served from the edge, with a writing desk bolted to the back of it.

The kiln room.

Wheel-thrown ceramics, one of each. The room isn't open yet.

Coming soon

The kiln's still warming.

There are pots. There isn't a shop yet — glazing, photographing, and working out how to post a mug without it arriving as gravel. Leave your email and you'll hear the day the shelf goes up.

Wheel-thrown ceramics, one of each. When a piece is gone, it's gone.
