Maya Machin’s wheel-thrown and salt-glazed stoneware is fired for 24 hours in a wood kiln. She is attracted to “the variation, depth, unpredictability and physicality that comes from wood-firing. I love that it forces you to give up your expectations a little bit and embrace fortuitous accidents.” When Paradise City’s Directors set a dinner party table, they often use a Machin pitcher similar to this one.
