He applies many layers on top of the drying surface, to attain his unique texture. Following this, he adds a beautiful glaze using a brush, sponge or simply, just his hand. Ohnaka has developed a distinctive clay and firing process, to achieve an aged surface. The materials he chooses leads the technique and tools required to realise the work. Ohnaka believes it is a collaborative work between the creator and the user, that the forms are complete when explored and shared. With an overarching interest in nature and antiques, the impermanent beauty in simplicity provides a source of inspiration and peace for Ohnaka.
