| Harlan House is a potter who loves playing
with fire - he's been at it for over fourty years.
His work is classic...porcelain fired with glazes that last forever because they are inspired by very old traditions. |

Made by hand, in the oldest of ways, each piece is unique. It is porcelain clay with feldspathic glazes fired beyond 1325 C° in a traditional kiln. New classics. |
A small but tasty sample. A preview of the flavour of Harlan's latest project.

Harlan is
also known to head for a paint brush now and then. In fact, Harlan has
quietly been putting paint to canvas for longer than he has thrown.
Harlan's recent 'Buffet' and 'Take-out' series are still life oil paintings of industrial junk food in local restaurants. These works leave many traditions behind. Harlan's paintings intensely observe the peculiar transformation of traditional Chinese food into unrecognizable 'dishes'. Have a look! |
