D E W Studio
I create distinctive forms, mostly with slabs, that accentuate the environment where they are utilized. My Lanterns use LED votives and puck lights and some maybe hardwired. I enjoy working with positive and negative space.

About D E W Studio
Since my youth I have been Intrigued with art and architecture. I enjoy using clay as a medium to build distinctive forms that accentuate and bring purpose to their surroundings. The appeal of positive and negative space influences my interest in designing boxes, lanterns, and urns. Trouble-shooting different techniques and approaches to a form inspire me. I value the organic connection to the earth through clay, and the peacefulness that it generates, while repurposing cardboard eases my conscious.

About the Process
My love for gardens prompted me to build lanterns, and recently I started using LED lights to illuminate them. Working with clay slabs allows for experimentation with form and variations on a theme. I make molds that I press clay into and build forms to support complex shapes. With large pieces, I use a sculpture body clay that contains high volumes of sand and grog, and my wares are fired to cone 5/6. Prior to COVID, I started formulating my own glazes.
