Hannah’s practice combines her passion for clay, glazes, texture, and in particular her obsessive love of symmetry and perfection.

Rhythm and repetition are an important part of the making process - finished works may have been kiln fired as many as three times - and her unique approach to glaze chemistry results in a fine balance of colours that accentuate her elaborate surfaces.

This collection of stemmed vases, bowls and curiously unique forms are all decorated with her iconic dot designs and glazed in a palette of Black and White tones with accents of gold lustre.
