Footstool
Coil-built in stoneware, this form is constructed gradually from the base upward and gently closed off at the top. Once leather hard, it is carved to achieve its spherical shape. After several weeks of drying, the piece is bisque-fired, then sanded and glazed with a mirror-effect finish before undergoing its final glaze firing.

About the artist
A recent graduate of the Royal College of Art, Helena explores how natural movements shape and transform materials, balances structure with unpredictability, and uses experimental glazing and printing techniques to mirror nature’s shifting patterns. She sees the kiln as an active collaborator, letting chance and transformation guide each piece.
Through overlooked details and quiet traces of use, her work uncovers how objects hold memory, place, and meaning. Her ceramic furniture highlights the personal connections we form with the objects around us, inviting moments of reflection, re-grounding.
