Raku Shell — Silver Kintsugi EditionThis shell sculpture was created five years ago, during an early period of my exploration of form and material. It is one of my first ocean inspired works made through the Raku technique a rare, experimental firing method in which ceramic undergoes extreme thermal shifts and direct interaction with open flame. The character of its surface was shaped by the reduction environment: after the initial firing, the piece was placed into a bed of wood

This shell sculpture was created five years ago, during an early period of my exploration of form and material. It is one of my first ocean-inspired works made through the Raku technique — a rare, experimental firing method in which ceramic undergoes extreme thermal shifts and direct interaction with open flame.

The character of its surface was shaped by the reduction environment: after the initial firing, the piece was placed into a bed of wood shavings, where the absence of oxygen produced deep smoky tones, darkened crackle patterns, and a mineral-like, fossilized texture. The small red marks on the surface are the result of glaze transfer from another piece during the firing — an accidental imprint of the shared process, impossible to recreate intentionally.

Due to its scale, the shell experienced significant thermal shock and cracked — an inherent part of Raku, where risk is embedded in the technique. Years later, it was restored by a Kintsugi master, who filled each fracture with silver, transforming the points of rupture into visual accents and highlighting the work’s layered history.

This sculpture brings together multiple states: the original form, the traces of fire, the accidental marks, the breakage, and the restoration through traditional Kintsugi. It represents a unique interaction of material, chance, and time — a piece that cannot be replicated and exists as a singular object.

The sculpture is presented on a stable metal stand, custom-made to support its vertical display.

Great retinol face moisturizer
Palmers always makes a great product in my opinion. This one's no different. It's a retinol that doesn't irritate my skin. I use a moisturizer below and on top. It absorbs quickly but doesn't sit on the skin. It's helped with my fine lines quicker than other products I've used and the price point is unmatched. Great product,not a strong scent, will continue to use.

Very Good
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have been using this product for 2 days and can see a difference in the appearance of my skin. 40+ this does help with fine lines. I can already see my smile lines appearing less noticeable. A little goes a long way. You don't need to use a lot, or it will look like clown makeup, and you will have to work it in, but it is not a big deal. Also, if you have sensitive skin, I wouldn't buy a product clearly listed as extra strength. It will work as an extra strength product.
