    Wecandoo - Meet Raymond

    Meet Raymond

    Ceramic Artist

    Raymond, a potter with a unique philosophical approach, draws his inspiration from Daoism, particularly the concept of "emptiness." This principle, central to his craft, influences his perspective on the functionality and purpose of his ceramic creations. He believes that just as the empty space within a ceramic vessel renders it useful, embracing emptiness in life can lead to clarity and a harmonious balance.

    In his pottery, Raymond focuses on capturing and celebrating the simple yet profound elements of everyday life. His work is a testament to the beauty of the ordinary, a reminder that joy can be found in the most mundane aspects of daily existence.

    Raymond's primary goal is to craft vessels that are not only functional but also imbue a sense of tranquility and mindfulness into daily routines.

    By integrating this philosophy into his pottery, Raymond offers more than just ceramic pieces; he provides an experience, a chance to find balance and peace in the act of using his vessels. Each piece is a reflection of his belief in the importance of simplicity, functionality, and the profound impact of 'emptiness' in bringing balance to both art and life.
