Porcelinen was started with the intention of producing one-of-a-kind, thoughtfully designed products with an emphasis on sustainability. It is a fusion of my hobbies: illustration, ceramics, screen printing, and vintage resale. The common thread is creating products that blur the line between fine art and fashion; designing timeless pieces whose form follows function. As my business grows I continue to personally make all items by hand and source materials as locally as possible.

The name Porcelinen is a portmanteau of porcelain and linen, the two halves of my practice that encompass ceramics and textiles. In ceramics I work primarily as a hand builder, bypassing the wheel in favor of the versatility and freedom that hand building allows. I emphasize intimate imperfections in my pieces, embracing the Buddhist concept of wabi-sabi which finds beauty in all that is flawed, impermanent and unfinished. My illustrations inform my ceramic pieces. I might create a shape from a drawing, or draw onto a shape molded in clay. Porcelain is my favorite clay body despite being the most difficult to work with. I am enamored by its simultaneous fineness and durability, with its smooth finish as an optimal surface for my delicate drawings.
