Shoreham Cup

The design of this cup pays homage to my first trip outside the USA, to London, UK. It represents what traveling abroad meant to me—moving closer toward my goal of pushing past the boundaries that were set for me from a young age. The intricate design is inspired by Saint Peter & St. Paul Church of England, a quiet yet beautiful church we visited during our journey through the lavender countryside of London.

For me, clay symbolizes the ability to be shaped into anything, reflecting the limitless potential and transformation I aim to evoke through my art.

This cup was thrown on the pottery wheel, with the design carefully carved into the form. The inside is glazed black, while oxides on the exterior highlight the carved design, allowing it to stand out and capture the essence of this significant experience.
