The side-handle form is intended for bowl tea ceremony or simply for everyday ritual. The handle turns naturally in the wrist, index finger resting on the lid.

The wooden handle is sourced from branches and roots I forage while spending time in nature surfing and hiking. In all of my work, I allow the materials to lead. I will either find a piece of wood that inspires the shape of a teapot body, or I'll complete a vessel before selecting its handle from my library of branches and roots. Each piece is then worked and finished to fit precisely, offering both beauty and balanced functionality.
