As part of my Advanced Ceramics 2 class, we had to create 4 bowl formations out of porcelain clay. I decided to create 2 dish bowls, 1 vase, and a matcha bowl.

In ceramics, I explore how three-dimensional forms occupy space and how weight, balance, and proportion affect physical presence. When a bowl feels unstable in someone’s hands, I understand viscerally how architecture makes people feel grounded or unsteady. These are insights that sketches can’t easily provide.
