Ceramic

Cambodian Ceramic · Fired low, by wood, by hand.

The clay is dark
because the river is.

Low-temperature wood firing leaves a matte, granular surface that reads almost like shagreen. No two pieces take the flame identically; the variation is the record of where each cup stood inside the kiln.

Technique

Hand-paddled · Wood-fired · Unglazed, polished

Lead time

14-day firing cycle · 6–8 week sea freight
