Pottery By Helene

My journey with clay has been a lifelong adventure. Even after four decades, I still feel a rush of excitement every time I open the kiln lid. The clay experiment is always ongoing, from the initial concept on paper to construction and glaze testing. I never stop learning and discovering the diversity of this medium. Ceramics remains my pathway to innovation, all while honoring its centuries-old traditions.
Right now, I’m working with cone 6 stoneware, using both hand-building and wheel-thrown techniques. I love experimenting with different colored clay bodies and textures to enhance the interest of glaze colors.
Teapots, both functional and nonfunctional, are a particular fascination of mine. Their incredible lines and movement remind me of the human form, and I find endless inspiration in their design.
If you have any specific questions about my process or any particular projects you’re curious about? I’d love to share more!
