Manufacturing story

Extruding the clay into pipe components and joined by hand, the interior is sealed with a mix of reclaimed studio glazes. An expression of London both in material and shape, the vase is a nod to the vast underground network of boreholes, tubes and tunnels that keep the city connected. As all of these vases are handmade, they won’t look identical – it’s these idiosyncrasies that make them so unique.
