This large ceramic bowl is wrapped with stylized magpies, layered feathers, flowers, and flowing woodland forms. Coral red and sky blue accents move across a black carved band, while the warm ivory body gives the piece a lighter, more open presence. The birds seem to emerge from and disappear back into the surrounding pattern, making the forest feel less like a background and more like a living world they belong to.
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.
