This ceramic plate brings together several stylized magpies among layered leaves, flowers, feathers, and geometric forms. Coral orange, teal, and soft grey accents move across the deep black surface, while the pale carved lines bind the composition into a dense, circular rhythm. The birds face different directions and overlap with the surrounding growth, giving the plate the feeling of a small gathering hidden within the forest.
Every EBMing piece begins with an original design, with the carving, coloring, and finishing all completed by hand. The studio does not copy nature exactly, but reshapes familiar plants and living forms into patterns with their own rhythm and character. Each piece is fired at 1240°C, preserving the depth of the carved lines, the richness of the hand-applied color, and the subtle variations that make every piece slightly different.
EBMing Studio reimagines the creatures around us through lines, colors, and imagination. Rather than recreating nature, we capture the feelings they leave behind—turning clay into small worlds filled with curiosity, warmth, and life.

Form & Aesthetics
I have always been inspired by the small lives around us—birds among branches, butterflies passing through flowers, and animals moving through worlds we often overlook. Rather than recreating them exactly as they appear in nature, I capture their impressions through simplified forms, hand-carved lines, and imagined colors, giving each piece its own character and feeling.
For me, clay is a way to preserve these moments of connection with nature. Every mark left by the hand and every unique shape gives the work a sense of life and warmth. Through EBMing Studio, I hope to create objects that bring curiosity, joy, and a closer appreciation of the beautiful lives that surround us.
