This campaign supports the research and development of a personal clay body for my ceramic sculptures.

Rather than simply buying ready-made clay, I am working on creating a signature clay mixture using raw materials. This allows me to experiment with texture, firing behavior, color reactions, and long-term durability for sculpture.

Developing a clay body is a slow process that involves testing different mineral combinations, firing samples, adjusting recipes, and documenting results.

Your support helps fund the raw materials used in this research, including:

clay minerals
grog and additives
testing batches and firing trials
documentation of results

This research is part of the studio practice at Signature Jocondienne, where ceramics are developed alongside music, printmaking, and photography.

Each test brings me closer to a clay that carries the identity of the studio itself.
