 On 2012 there were reconstructing works going on in Estonian TV Tower and i was lucky again. 14 sinks with special design were ordered from me.
 Work in process
Here is four sinks in different states of work. First from the left is just finished from the wet clay, next one has already dried out, next is after first firing (900C) and last is glazed and high fired (1250C) result. I made a picture to illustrate the shrinkage of a clay during process. Identical plaster form has been used to make all of them.
This work is diplayed in Estonian History Museum.  The whole museum was reconstructed on 2011. It was specially ordered for new set up.
Chessboard and figures made as a cooperative work with my brother Ott. He made the figures, I made the board so my part was relatively small but I found it worth showing anyway.
Washbasin made as a commission work. Now it is in one house in Nõmme.
A tea set for train lovers.
Now I want to introduce some simple and functional stuff I have been making.
 A pot for cooking in the oven.
 Teapot, mugs, plates
 A vessel for holding bread. With airtight lid.
Some mugs and plates.
There is an annual teapot exhibition  in Shanghai. I have had honour to take part of that for some years. Every year artists are inspired from animals according to Chinese calendar. I started on tiger year, then I made rabbit teapots, then dragons and now I am making a snake teapot. There is just a selection of those.







This was a special order from my friend. He wanted to have a duck shaped sink and had to get it. It is happily in his bathroom now.
Ceramic bug.

Next thing was my personal exhibition on Hop gallery. I made some figurative work.

This work was also bought for the Applied Art and Design Museum collection.


In 2005 I took part of Kohila Ceramic Symposium and make this work there. After exhibition it was bought by Estonian Applied Art and Design Museum for their collection. It is woodfired. Just a simple chair for sitting in the garden.
This work was made on 2003 for the exhibition in Zurich. Stoneware clay covered with porcelain.
