Working primarily with high-fire stoneware clays and fuel-burning kilns, surfaces are altered by the kiln atmosphere, creating depth and surface variation through their interaction with flame. His work centres on functional ceramics, with a material and process-driven approach, using locally sourced clays, volcanic materials, and wood ash. Working primarily with high-fire stoneware clays and fuel-burning kilns, surfaces are altered by the kiln atmosphere, creating depth and surface variation through their interaction with flame.

Each piece carries the marks of its making and firing process, revealing the character of the materials in objects that feel grounded, tactile, and alive.

Alongside his studio work, Danny teaches ceramics across Geelong and Melbourne, focusing on developing fluency in making, confidence, and a deeper understanding of material.
