Jim Sweeney creates handbuilt sculptural works and vessels defined by structured forms, carved surfaces, and distinctive raku and saggar-fired finishes.
porto moniz
The porto moniz collection is defined by sculptural necks, soft forms, and richly textured surfaces created through the saggar firing process.
Inspired by the powerful, flowing waves of the ocean, the nosara collection features sculpturally carved forms that evoke movement and flow. Raku-fired interiors introduce unexpected color and metallic depth.
Defined by striking black-and-white surfaces, these raku-fired vessels feature one-of-a-kind patterns created with horsehair, sugar, and mica. No two pieces can ever be exactly alike.
